No Prophecy of Doom
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
You really should not be resigned
To blame all things on fate,
Especially if you feel maligned
Which won't help you think straight!
Do not believe "The fallacy
Of well laid plans" and please
Don't think if "Murphy's Law" will ease
The bad times that you see.
You must believe you have control
Of some things day to day,
And that your life and very soul
Are things for which to pray!
About this poem
Don't let life "just happen"!
