There is nothing
Permanent in life
Not even our friendship
Nor the bonds that bind
Us! Know this as a fact
And be guided.
There is nothing
Permanent in life, instead
What exists is permanent
Self-interest! Self-preservation Overrides and influences
The decisions Most make,
Except a few! Be among
That number.
There is nothing permanent
No condition or situation
Is permanent, everyone
And everything is in
Transition! Certainly
Change and decay
All around we see
Indisputable evidence.
So learn to accept the
Inevitable, nothing remains
The same, friends today
Enemies tomorrow is a testimony
Of the uncertainty of permanency.
Learn to live with it!
Shed no tears! Move on in life
With your chest out and head high
Who cares!
