Too Late To Blame Fate? Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Too Late To Blame Fate?

Is fate hidden in the stars
Coming in bolts of lightning
On a clear summer day
To mark your forehead

Does fate cause scars
Singling you out of a crowd
In a horrific mass execution
You are left scathed but alive

Does fate know where you are
Finding you even in quarantine
Even deep in a secure bunker
Coming to read your rights.

Can fate take you far
Ignoring your heritage
And the sins of your father
Leaving you in a unique place

Is it fate you died in a car
When you cease to exist
Whatever is the truth
Is it too late to blame fate?
