I once heard,

Some humans were made,

To crash and burn,

Souls built,

Like scattered embers,

Pushed by the wind,

Already with a set destination,

An uncorrectable course,

Towards demise.

The burning of a forest,

Its extinction at the hands of a puddle,

All from a set origin,

A different planned course,

And yet, a set outcome.

Regardless of their decisions,

Their awareness of life's path,

Pre-destination,

As a reaper,

As a judge,

Jury,

And executioner,

Traces their unavoidable steps.

Forever a victim to themselves,

Forever lost,

Empty,

Carried by the wind.

I once heard,

Some humans were made,

To crash and burn.
