Poem on Fate vs. Free Will

Lost poem - Fate vs Free Will
by ~nuke-vizard

If you believe in chance then listen to this
There is a reason behind all that exists
All of life's actions you took and will take
Are nothing but steps that you had to make

Shake the hand that makes all your moves
Life is a game as the puppeteer proves
Maybe he lets you pull your own strings
If you are lucky, that's what fate brings

You must look destiny straight in the eye
And if you hear providence let out a sigh
Maybe you'll see that you have free will
And you know best whom to love and to kill

Make a choice now and please make it quick
It's all up to you which path you should pick
Stay on board, fly, defy your own fate
Just make up your mind before it's too late

Seize the moment, you know what to do
Make a better world where all works for you
Erase your past and write what's to come
Unless you believe it's already done

If you can't escape or you can't decide
If black tells you lies so you join his side
If living this life is not worth the cost
Then be not afraid, it means you are lost

The poem "Lost Poem" directly relates to the play of Julius Caesar. For example in the second verse it talks about fate. In Act II Scene II Julius Caesar basically says that you need to live life. You can not let fate control your life, you need to live it and not be a coward. In the poem the puppeteer pulls the strings, if you are not a coward he will let you live long.

Every one has to make a choice in their life, whether they are going to go with fate or free will. In Act II Scene II in Julius Caesar, Caesar is place in a situation. He either has to go with fate and go to the Capitol, or maintain his free will and stay with his wife who thinks he is going to get murdered. In the "Lost Poem" it talks about choosing a path, just like Caesar has to do with his decision. What do you think will happen?
