Somthings Don't Change

A Poem by layla

Addiction

Something’s Don’t Change

The Nile River, will never stop flowing

The wind in the air, continues on blowing

The ticking tic toc, of a grandfather clock

Proves time will continue, it will never stop

The inevitable love, a mother will share

It never dies out, like the suns burning flare

The waves all produced, in all seven oceans

Will never stop moving, a lifetime of motions

Grass will still grow, when spring becomes near

This also won’t stop, it comes every year

The planets will orbit, that too will not stop

And the mountains remain, always on top

Some things in life, no one can change

For instance addiction, will never be strange

Don’t try and save me, ill catch my last breath

With my bottle in hand, ill hold to my death

Minor thing.... the title should read "Some things don't change"

This is really sad. Some of the language in the first 3 stanzas are amazing..

"The waves all produced, in all seven oceans
Will never stop moving, a lifetime of motions"

That was a wonderful couple of lines.

I like the last stanza as told from an addict with no hope. It is however not true as you know. Addictions are broken every day and people change their behaviors and attitudes every day. I did not expect the ending and it made the piece sad.

Good writing and an interesting piece. That second stanza shows just how strong you are with words. Brilliant!
