Tables Are Continually Turning

8/8/16


How are you getting it, if you're not even working?
People losing and earning
Been learning
The tables are continually turning
For any organisms and earthlings
Since the dawn of time, and while stars continue shining and burning

Folks on earth and in space searching
What was found next occasionally happened to be inconclusive or disturbing

And just when it was thought to be figured out
It sometimes led to even bigger doubt

Maybe the subject should be approached differently
Despite what occurred previously in history
The times are no longer the same, and if you thought they were then you must be kidding me

Accept the fact that there will always be mysteries
And that you will not always end up with a victory

So many different eras
Some of which not all are aware of

Still trying to grow strong
And do no wrongs

I could just continue to go on
Amid all the molecules and protons
But for now so long
