An acrostic on the role of chance in our lives.
Surely you know it is almost always chance
Even though our mind likes to pretend otherwise
Reality is we have little say over reality
Even though our mind loves its illusion of control
Not saying that nothing we do has any meaning
Dangerous lines along which to be thinking
I feared it at first, being at the mercy of chance
Powerless until I looked at it another way
Instead of chance, gave it a new name
Transformed it while keeping it unchanged
You can call it chance, I call it opportunity
