Poem by R.M. Dolin
Derivation of Destiny
No one can say for certain
where a waterfall begins
or when the consequences
of revolution
first cascade toward change.
Even so,
anyone paying attention knows
government’s lie to their people.
And in their lies we find
seldom spoken truths
no matter how hidden
or how hard we strive
to avoid what cannot be unseen.
These truths,
like traces of water in snow,
ultimately reveal
the derivation of destiny.
R. M. Dolin, 2015
