Que Sera,Sera

A New Year lies ahead of us. I must admit I'm curious.
to see if experts prophecies will turn out to be theories.
Which passing time will not sustain and leave the experts to explain.
Just how and why they got it wrong I'm sure they'll sing the same old song.
We're only men what we express is just an educated guess.
You have to place it in context. They do not know what will come next.
No more than any other man .Although they all profess they can
interpret the faint signs they see and can predict with accuracy.
What events will come to be but get it wrong consistently
That's why I listen cynically and mostly unbelievingly.
When experts choose to air their views, I find their words of little use.
I much prefer to wait and see: What fate decrees will come to be..

I suppose you could almost call this very well put philosophy, fatalist. At least it's probably not going to be fatal through getting too worked up. It is correct - the 'experts' saw nothing coming while simple people like me questioned what was going on two or more years ago. Oh well, at least I owe nothing to anyone.
By the way, I am John, not Ivor.

Nicely light, and I remember why I was watching your poetry before--you have a way with metered verse that is incredibly rare and I am sure takes great patience (since that's what it amounts to with me). Or perhaps it's the wisdom. But in any case,

thanks for writing,
J.

An excellent philosophy, expressed with lack of bias
And like me mum did always say
These things are sent to try us
