Invincible

How is it that we can think that we are invincible?

All it takes is

One wrong move,

One misstep,

The smallest of errors,

And we are dead.

Have we not learned from past mistakes?

After vengeful waters have washed away our lives,

After hellish flames have incinerated all we own,

After the earth shook with such might it tore us apart,

After so many lives have been lost.

How can we believe that we are invulnerable, more powerful than Fate?

The destructive forces of Natureand human blunders alike

Are all guided by the power of Fate.

We are helpless against its power,

We cannot defeat it.

Who are we to say that we are invincible,

When death is all around us?
