A Brief Rant About The Chosen One(s)

If there’s one thing I’m dedicated to opposin’

It’s fantasy heroes who are Chosen

A trope that I wish frozen and done?

That damned idea of The Chosen One!

The idea that someone’s special for being born

Ain’t no good; ain’t nothin’ but corn

Good plotlines go on vacation

When you bring in predestination.

Are we robots? Automatons?

To have our lives inflicted-upon;

To be helpless tools of Fate?

That’s something to which I can NOT relate.

I’d rather the world be claimed by force,

Than have the stars chart our every course.

The only way to keep Chosen Ones honest

Is to your damnedest, your very doggonest

To kill the bastards with great dispatch

And not allow their schemes to hatch.

The Chosen One is Destined to win?

Not in any Universe

That I want to live in.
