Best Nothing New Under The Sun Poems
Challenge the thoughts of today and you'll be labeled a nut,
A hundred years from now you'll be praised as a great figure in history.
Those who will only cheer the Status quo serve humanity a great defeat
Galileo confirmed that the Earth went around the sun – and not the other way around – and
was charged with heresy in 1633. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest in
Tuscany. Only in 1992 did Pope John Paul admit that the church's treatment of Galileo had
been a mistake.
Galileo was no dummy.... he knew any challenge to "The Power" would bring him dier concequences.
He decided to tell it like it is away, and for that reason alone he has lived on.
“Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker.
Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy.
Speak your mind and fear less the label of ‘crackpot’
than the stigma of conformity.
And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and
be counted at any cost.”
-Thomas J. Watson
Nothing New Under the Sun.(Satan’s little helpers)
There’s nothing new under the sun,
first came the sword then came the gun.
Gonna make me a spear, gonna build me a rocket,
every bullet they fire is money in my pocket.
I’ve had you fighting your neighbour, had you fighting your brother.
Had you fighting for ‘peace’ then fighting each other.
Communist, Terrorist, Pacifist and Liberalist
On the right on the left, whatever the label.
I’ve got all my horses rounded up in one stable.
The soldiers of Rome impaled their future king.
The soldiers of Hitler did much the same thing.
Oil is the earth’s blood, the prize they all seek,
But I trade it for your blood every day of the week.
It gives me a thrill to see that blood spill,
They’re Satan’s little helpers and they’re there for the kill.
You wanted it all, you reached for the moon.
But you want things in my world, you gotta dance to my tune.
I have to admit, it sends shivers down my spine,
When you salute that flag and I know that you’re mine.
There’s nothing new under the sun,
Been tellin the same lies since the earth first begun.
I’ll fill you full of facts, just one of my tricks,
You wouldn’t know the truth if it hit you like bricks.
When those witnesses come calling, trying to talk you some sense,
You’ll pay them no heed at your own expense.
I’m the winner now whether you live or die, as long as I have you believing the lie.
You can’t see the picture, and that’s how I like it.
By the time you learn history, you’re already part of it.
There’s nothing new under the sun, first came the sword then came the gun….

All creative thought’s start with our surroundings
From the trees, birds and water even the ground we walk on
Each and everything mankind has created
Has come from the earth itself
The ink we write with paint we paint with
The buildings we build and the cars we drive
The houses we live in and the furniture we sit on
The pills we take and ships that we build
All came from the earth giving us our creativity
Our artistic abilities we each have are a gift
Some are greater then others but we all have it
Whatever is crated in our minds is a recreation
Paintings are created from what has been seen
Sculptures are created from what has been seen
Poetry has been created from what we have seen and done
Original creations comes from the combining of other creations
Art is all around us and we recreate it individually
We look at someones paintings in awe thinking
What a talented person forgetting that painting
Of that snow seen in the mountings was created by God first
We have taken the paint and canvas that we have created
And recreated that mountain snow seen we had in our mind
We create a statue of a man on a horse and look at it in awe
But when we see a man riding a horse we do not think twice
Man saw birds fly so they created the airplane
Man created the wheel most likely from a rock that rolled
Man created fire most likely from lighting hitting a tree
All of mans creativity has come from the earth

Nothing new
Under the sun..
There are
No things
Separate things..
Appearances
Are
Nothing
Appearing..
These are
Always new:
Nothing new
Under the sun...
Lack of sun, we bought a house in the West
The sun liked us very much
Outside the house, grew plants
The garden East of the house is verdant
The North and South are so-so
The West, the dirt is brown
We thought to grow a garden over there
The seeds refused to open
The sun had scolded them
We dug an open well to persuade them
The sun scolded the well too
Today we move back East

IN AND OF WHAT WAS, WILL BE AGAIN
(I.E., There’s Nothing New Under The Sun)
In more ways than one,
it has been often said,
“what’s going to happen,
happened once before;
and what happened before,
will surely happen again.”
How thought-provoking.
Is there anything ever new?
Pondering the question,
check out the following flow:
Was not the present POTUS,
once before; and did he not get
kicked out of that office?
And will he not be
kicked out again,
this time too?
Indeed, no matter
how it goes, he will go:-
Just check out the Daily Sun,
and its sojourns: yo-yoing yesterday,
today, and tomorrow; as if to summarize:
“Its happened before, and will again.”
And hey, just check this out:
“Finally, let me say, remember,
we always reap whatever we sow.”
(“There’s nothing new under the sun.”)
