Nothing Last Forever Poem by Okim Otu

The thorny bud that pierces trampling feet
turn in humble beneficence
to the blossom rose whose fragrance
call attention of bees in no small fleet

The rising sun that smile on us a dazzling gleam
and spices our morning and make our day bright
turn quickly into the darkened night
that burden kids with scary dream

Nothing last forever, the swift turn sluggish
and the strong as days unfolds turn weak
beauty fades, knowledge freaks
kings perish and puppets flourish

The cry of the night to the joyful morning song
nothing last forever
nothing last forever
prayers turn testimonies and wailing; victory song
