There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance take,
host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance.

planet of playthings,
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
"The stars aren't aligned,
Or the gods are malign..."
Blame is better to give than receive.

 [bad word] 
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand,
The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in Lotusland.

All preordained
prisoner in chains
victim of venomous fate.
Kicked in the face,
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate.

 [bad word] 

Each of us
cell of awareness
Imperfect and [bad word] 
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.
