Kennedy Muitherero Poet Rhyme

Permanent Temporary

Temporal is aiming for permanence
But much benevolence paints the prudence
To keep change changing 
To keep range ranging 
To give meaning to purpose and hope
To create a future into which to elope 
From an old past on stone cast
Onwards fast to a great that will last 

Even that which may last forever 
In light of memory that may favour whatever 
Will suffer oblivion 
And the wavering of opinion 
Until it is craved for and recalled 
Once again hailed and installed 
Only to be trampled underfoot again 
And such be the recurring strain

So affirms the permanence of temporaries
Times and heirs being the emissaries 
Passing down through the years 
All cheers and jeers across seers and peers
And so it is now as it was then
Such temptations common to men
Throughout time and space
Even as enduring wisdom is strained of grace

K. Muitherero
