Predetermination

Oh you magnificent ship of state,
I’m on your track you determine my fate;
Your powerful force predetermining my life course
By steering away from my nemesis, often against my wails of prejudice.
Sometimes I struggle against your powerful wishes;
Grasping the wheel of fortune turning it to my selection
Desperately trying to change direction from your authority.
But the past has proved you right, I submit to you, my destiny.
