Meant to Be

nothing is meant to be
nothing ever was meant to be

the gods
had they been
do you think
would have unscrupulously conspired
for
your modest lives to fall in place
and watched you wreck it all
with a wretched smile across the dainty faces


we are no god's children

we are but shrewd manifestations of selfish desires
we are but fragile remnants of abused residences


we are what we have made of us
nothing is meant to be
nothing ever was meant to be
