Happiness or tragedy
At the flip of a finger,
The fickleness of life
Whether joy or sadness will linger.
The unknown, the future,
Tomorrow, today,
Often the innocent with sorrow will pay,
Regardless of wealth
Or the poverty stricken,
One knock and we`re down
Like a headless chicken.
How many would wish
To view life`s crystal ball
Then accept, no way could they rise
As they were destined to fall.
