#poetry The illusion of free will Plagued mankind since birth We toil and resist Against an inevitable force Our autonomy is a sham A grandiose delusion That nature laughs at For the winds that propel us forward Are far beyond our control And we are powerless against them All we can do is surrender And let them carry us away To wherever they may take us And hope that in the end We'll end up where we're supposed to be And that our journey was worth it In the end.
