Poem: To Plan

Daily Dose of Philosophy

Our day-to-day seems to be the same. We start to believe to know what will be, Begin to act with certainty in hand. Yet so often surprise finds our behind.

We plan as though able to predict all, Yet fail to see the challenges it brings. For what the future holds we cannot know. Actions to be taken become Hollow.

A thought, what will be, will never be known. so what would be the point to plan for all? Instead, act to know what the trends could be. Learn to develop flexibility.

Thank you for taking the time and reading my poetry. I hope that you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more from the Daily Dose of Philosophy.
