Cosmic Questions

Is all that is the way that it must be,
Inevitably fixed before our time?
Are we but puppets, forced by God’s decree
To work out each heroic deed or crime?
Or is our destiny set all by choice,
Decided by each thing we do or say?
Do we, in all that happens, have a voice
To change the course of life from day to day?
Perhaps the answer’s somewhere in between,
An integration of our works and fate,
Combining in some way as yet unseen
The plan of old and things we’ve done of late.

Oh was I meant to know you before birth
Or was our meeting engineered on earth?
