Everything Becomes Old With Time Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

The sun went down like it never shone
The moon fizzled out like it was never bright
The day turned dark like it never dawned
The well dried out like it was never full
The garden thinned away like it never had flowers
The river turned quiet like it never had water
The mountain turned dull like it never had ice cap
The old man turned haggard like he was never handsome
Everything becomes old with time
