Ecclesiastes 1:9 

9 What exists now is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
there is nothing truly new on earth.

 

Songs of life

 

Is life a song … that has been sung before?

With a refrain hummed in repetition

A verse here and there with a different tone

composed in part by malnutrition

 

A melody sung from afar

and played by someone else

I know the words composed by strife,

nothing new within myself

 

All the songs and all the lyrics        

I lived before in someone else

It seems so strange … but it is for certain,

that no new songs are sung out there

 

In the news from day to day

nothing new shows under the sun

All things that are … have been before

so search in Truth before the day is done
