Lost poem - Fate vs Free Willby ~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

Paragraph 1 talks about how there is always reason behind your actions. I think this relate to how the actions Brutus is taking to become king and kill Caesar is all because of the reason that Caesar is becoming king. Which is also the reason for Brutus's little group meetings and why Caesar is going to die.

The 2nd paragraph talk about how some people are lucky enough to be able to "pull their own string in life" meaning they can make free will decisions instead of having predetermined ones. I believe this relates to how Brutus has a free will decision, even although it is in a way predetermined as he's the only one able to take on the responsibility of being king. It also says how if you can pull your own strings you're lucky with what fate brings, and Brutus is lucky to become king.

Third paragraph is saying that one should look destiny straight in the eye, and Brutus looks at the problem and adresses it immediately. Then it says that if you have free will which Brutus does, you will know exactly who to love and who to kill. Brutus knows exactly who to love and who to kill, like killing Caesar, but not his friends that Cassius suggests killing also.

The fourth paragraph well explains that one should make a decision and make it quick, and that one has free will on the path they take. I think it relates to Brutus as he has to make his decision before it's too late. It talks about staying on task and getting it done, which is exactly what Brutus is doing.

Paragraph 5 explains really well the situation that Brutus is in. It says in the paragraph to erase the past if its not already done, and change it so everything is great for all. What Brutus is doing is: Hes killing Caesar before he is king, before it is already done and he will replace him as king so all the citizens have a good leader.

Lastly paragraph 6 talks about if one is undesicive, and is hesitant on the desicion to try to defy their fate, than they are truly lost, which is totally true. And I think that Brutus certaintly felt that way until he was talked into a lot of confidence. He didn't know where to start and what to do, he was lost.

This whole thing some how ended up being about Brutus, but it relates well so I don't think it matters.
