Yes, I absolutely agree with you that fate has a big role in our life!

Fated we are to live and eventually die Beneath the bright blue orb called the sky As intelligent beings, animals or birds that fly And then five feet deep with worms very humbly lie…. Great poem of yours sir. I invite you to my page too for your critical comments......

At times, we are both puppets and passing eyewitnesses. We are stiff, immobile, and we simply let things happen. Very thoughtful poem!

Nice thought provoking write. I think there's a combination of both at play. Nice imagery with the puppet strings.

Fate and effort are neither totally black or white, nor are they operating all by themselves. Life is more a mix of every thing. Very much thought provoking. Congrats for being the member's PoD. Thank you for sharing.

We are more than puppets, for God allow us to make our own decisions, and we'll have to suffer the repercussion. Great poem and question.

Fate is something we have no control over but we can overcome if fate is not kind to us and rise above it! This is an outstanding write!
