Triumph!


Despite all the fight
Sometimes, Slavery of fate
Is unavoidable

Opportunity
Is slipping through my fingers
The future seems bleak

But…

My next step will be
One more endeavor for sure
Triumph can’t escape.

  11. 'slavery of fate'...powerful lines...there is always the conflict in the rational oriental mind...between free will/choice and destiny/fate...which is nothing but a kind of slavery! well done!

  16. Yes, opportunity, or "perceived" opportunity does seem to elude us all sometimes, especially as we age. Nice one.
