The Pessimist

Fate may be
Comforting to believe
When searching for the meaning.
But if everything
Has been foreseen by destiny,
Then it means nothing to me.

If all is for the best,
And the hand of providence
Allows no coincidence unplanned,
Tell me where you stand
In this deterministic plan
To make any difference at all?

Let’s just say,
For the argument’s sake,
There are no choices to make,
And no risk to take,
No good deeds, no mistakes,
No responsibility.

But if all is for the best,
Well then we can only guess
Why this world is such a mess.
And if we have no control
In the matters of this world,
Then what do you search your soul for?
