This is an age-old question that has not been truly answered by sages <br />The sages include mystics, astrologers, spiritualists, metaphysicians <br />Soothsayers, clairvoyants, fortune-tellers, seers, and psychics <br />To rephrase the above question in simplistic terms – <br />Is everything human beings do on earth predestined by the stars? <br /> <br />Human beings are known to possess enormous powers <br />Powers to think, reason, decide, invent, create, and make choices <br />How can we be turned into puppets been manipulated by the stars? <br />Many sages say some events in the life of humans are predestined <br />And that not all things in human existence are preordained <br /> <br />The power of human beings to make choices in their own lives <br />Has lead several to fortune and some to misfortune <br />If you play the lottery and become an overnight millionaire <br />You will surely thank all the stars in the sky <br />If your marriage end up in divorce after few months or years <br />Will you blame that on all the stars in the sky? <br />Or blame yourself for your poor choice and short-sightedness <br /> <br />Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars? <br />How about a drunk driver who died in motor accident? <br />Was that driver manipulated by the stars? <br />How about a swimmer who drowned without a life-jacket? <br />Was the swimmer manipulated by the stars? <br /> <br />Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars? <br />If you eat the wrong type of food and die of heart-disease! <br />Shall we blame the stars in the sky for your untimely death? <br />What of a student who failed an exam because of poor preparation? <br />Shall we conclude that the student was manipulated by the stars? <br /> <br />Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars? <br />With all the enormous powers of human beings to think, <br />Reason, decide, invent, produce, create and make decisions <br />Hopefully, we shall all become the architects of our own fortunes <br />Please enjoy your life, good luck and happy destiny<br /><br />Julius Babarinsa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-we-puppets-been-manipulated-by-the-stars/
