Often people say
That everything that happens
Happens for a reason
As if to say
That for anything that happens
There is a purpose
That purpose and reason
Came before the event
Like each particular event
Was planned in advance
By some supreme being
Watching over you
Wishful thinking
But that is just what
People want to believe
To accept the situation
To comfort their mind
For everything that happens
Is nothing more
Than ball bouncing off the wall
Just a consequence
To everything that happens before
If there is only one event
One event only
For which there is a reason
Is that you were born
