I am destiny .
Blind to all suffering
and all happiness .
I am neither compassionate
nor vengeful .
I only know what is right
beyond good and evil .
Pleasure and indecency
cannot corrupt me .
Even the gods themselves
are subject to my judgment .
Time is my servant .
death my twin .
Sometimes we swape clothes .
Our roles become confused .
We are one face for the multitude.
Souls revere or curse us .
The reckless always rebellious .
In the name of eternity
I welcome all renunciation
and all despair .
when you look in the eyes of your beloved,
it's me you see .
Trust me, we were meant to meet
playing out this tragedy called life
whose a wise elder weaves the web .
I am this encounter with yourself
on the path strewn with fragrant roses
and fiery thistles .
But you don't recognize me ,
because you don't know
the end of the story
which is only reflection
in an ever-changing mirror .
Come,I 'm waiting for you !
Writing the lines
of once was and will
no longer be !
In the balance,will be placed
intoxications of all follies ,
insane or heroic passions !
Kings,jesters ,priests and courtesans
will appear,hiding the shame
of their nakedness .
So ,you will listen
to this magnificent symphony
rising from decomposed word
the revelation .
Despite your fear and escape
I will continue to love
your sublime ugliness .
Me, your destiny .

Lorenz the issue of human values is raised here and who is to say our values are right or even justified. Thought provoking
Although the concept of values ( Particularly current values ) Remains to be defined .
Simply guidelines for behavior
We are not prisoners of destiny - we are its material, its voice, its reflection in a mirror that changes along with us. A person discovers their true nature only when faced with what cannot be changed.
A strong and beautiful piece!
Is our destiny is what we shape it to be ?
Our destiny isn’t a fixed road, but it’s not entirely in our hands either. We shape it through our choices, our character, and the way we respond to what we can’t change. Destiny gives us the conditions, but we give them meaning.

Everything is already written but the individual has the right to deny it .
each word rings true - a good description of destiny
It contains its share of reason and madness ...
