Nothing New Poem by Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

There's nothing new under the sun;
Despite what we've gradually become
When living reach our turn
The sorrow we endure for a night
And the joy we bake for a while
The period of lack and dismay
When we felt we're tired to pray
The smiles that roam our face
And tragedy when it shoot without trace
When we live as if we're scared
And hunger on our face it stares
There's nothing new under the sun;
Despite what we've gradually become
When living reach our turn
Seemly when the good is hard to manifest
And life is likely to upset
When things yield as we stake
Or nothing ever goes as we expect
There's nothing new under the sun;
Despite what we've gradually become
When living reach our turn.
