Nothing Lasts Forever

There once rose a man; Adolf Hitler Who established himself as the world’s conqueror, Thought of himself as an immortal But nothing lasts forever. Seasons come and go, For every high there’s a low Span is always a thought to consider ‘Cos nothing lasts forever. Green leaves may turn brown; Great trees lose their crowns. Smiles,slowly fade into frowns Nothing lasts forever. In all the pain, Set your eyes on the gain. It’ll be fine someday, Nothing lasts forever. Enjoy it while it lasts, For it’ll soon be of the past, Flying away into the skies like dust; Nothing lasts forever. Sani thought himself a butcher, Slayed as many as stood in his way, But where is he today, Nothing lasts forever. Charles tailored his schedules intricately, He sought to establish longevity. But for every sprout, there’s a shrink. Nothing lasts forever. I mean! Dada was ferocious; Wilder than the beasts of the jungle, Today, he’s feasted upon by maggots, Nothing lasts forever. Hope was brought to the south. A man delivered them from their shackles, Nelson could only do as much as his life would permit. Nothing lasts forever. I could go on and on, Write from dusk till dawn. But certainly, this piece has got to end ‘Cos nothing lasts forever.
