Fate

Like a spider's web,
Tangled and mangled.
The Alcatraz of life
Escaping the confines,
The perpetual dream
Of a breathing soul.

His drama on Earth,
Toying and teasing
The lives of men,
Acting by the script.

Laughing haughtily,
Like a puppetmaster
Having the last laugh
The winner as always.
Like a spider's web
Tangled and mangled.
