Striving After Wind Poem by Gboyega Idowu

STRIVIN AFTER WIND

I may not know anything in this world
But one thing will never leave my head
That as it was said then so it is now
That nothing is new under the heaven
That all these have happened then, now and later

All these and these I am sure of
That! the running, the waiting, the fighting,
the struggling, the money, the hatred, the power
your wisdoms, your assets, your wives, your jobs
All the traveling, the dreams, the pleasures, the pains
And all that Men seeks

Is just striving after wind
That gives nothing at the end
All that we see will and that we hope seeing
Had been seen by the archaic; It will still be seen by the future
Nothing changes only but human being

We have come with nothing and going nowhere with
Because Vanity + Vanity + Vanity
Is striving after wind
