On a Platter of Whatever

What would have been of me?
If I had met a prophet
Who must have told me
Of the outcome of my journey in life
Who must have told me
That this is where I will find myself
After all said and done

As a successful man
For sure, knowing myself
I would not have worked as hard as I had
I would not have cared for the little details that made me stand out
Nor cared for the useful advise from...
....indeed I would not have cared for nothing
When I know that at the end
Fate will be holding out success for me-
Why the stress?

As a failure
I would have despised everything
When I am made to know that
Fate made me to be a mockery
May be suicide would have been it
May be not
But for sure
I will never have been happy with fate or anything at all

Why would one seek to know the future?
I am curios to know
Fate I believe holds out good for all
But for those that fail to reach out for it
Have themselves to be blame
