Everything Comes And Goes Poem by Kelvin Rush

Everything comes and goes that's all you need to know
Objects relationships fear and pain
Uncontrolled anger jealousy and shame
Wealth and property celebrity and fame
The poor and the needy the mad and insane

Everything comes and goes that's all you need to know
A lifelong friend a cunning scheme
An amazing sunrise a beautiful dream
An emotional trauma a nightmare scream
A birthday surprise when you're eighteen

Everything comes and goes that's all you need to know
Plants and trees flowers in bloom
The birds and the bees harvest moon
Autumn leaves a washed out June
Summer breeze doom and gloom

Everything comes and goes that's all you need to know
A distressing call in the middle of the night
An angry neighbour who wants to fight
A worthless cause a hopeless plight
A bedtime story a horrible sight

Everything comes and goes that's all you need to know
Blame and sadness hate and aggression
Mundane jobs a worldwide recession
A mountain of debt house repossession
Mental illness anxiety depression

Everything comes and goes that's all you need to know
The royals and dictators all evil man
The kings and queens the historical plan
The presidents and prime ministers the ku klux klan
The pope and church sinisters the paedophile scam
The lies and the cover-ups desperate dan

Everything comes and goes that's all you need to know
No one cares what lies ahead
No magical insight in our head
Dumb and dumber born and bred
In any case we'll all be dead

Everything comes and goes that's all you need to know
