Chess with Fate 

I wanted to make a wish,
Could I checkmate the destiny to diminish?
Playing chess with my fate tonight,
Should I search for this war a new mate and bright?

A new year just arrived,
Can the boundaries of my fate been this year crossed?
Lists of doings and wishes are high,
Yet, will destiny put me again in cry?

My eyes are still wet from last year,
Fate, will you please make the new year better to bear?
I play your game with wisdom and hope,
Let the World embrace a bit of peace and good scope.

Destiny, help the people build their homes,
Can you pause a bit of destructing Rome?
Let them feel happiness and be fearless,
Can you stand aside and let spring bring them joyfulness?

2025, I say you this sharp and sober,
Don't play radically with the believer.
Let the people reach their hopes and dreams,
Could you please fulfill at least one of their wishes in your realm?

2025, I will play with you the chess,
Will definitely checkmate you and clean 2024 mess,
Just let me wish for peace to stay in people's mind, life, and the world,
And please play fairly, soundly, and without sword or crossword.

Let everyone win with good deeds,
Let success and love once proceed.
