Everybody Wants To Rule  

Everybody wants to rule the world 

Welcome to your Life where you’re not always in control of your own destiny 

Everybody wants to oversee all the things in their world 

But so much of life is outside of our control 

Nothing lasts forever 

Especially not us 

We are but shadows in the dark there but for a glimpse only seen when illuminated 

We are a breath of hot air in the abysmal cold 

A whisp of vapor or smoke 

While the world keeps on spinning and spinning  

Everybody wants to oversee their fate, but the world has other plans 

We think we are the masters of our own fate or destiny 

But we are pushed and pulled by the currents and winds of this world 

We all like to think we are in charge of our own path 

But the choices of others push and pull us to and fro 

Weaving us off our planned course 

We all seek to be in charge of our destiny 

But so much of it is out of our hands 

Instead, we are only in charge of half of our destiny at best  

As we give up power to others both willingly and unwillingly 

We give power to our bosses, to editors, to friends, and family 

To significant others we give our hearts and the power to ruin us or build us up 

Everybody wants to rule their own life 

But we’re all tied up by the winds of fate and the power we have given to others.   

Be careful whom you give power to in this life lest they use it to destroy you. 

Because some hope to rule you and be the ones in charge of your fate.
