coming and going

people come and people go
those that march to another's drum
are just the zeros behind the one
when they are gone
we are happy to forget them

people come and people go
those that do the work
with free imagination and ruthless logic
will be remembered
as long as mankind exists

civilizations come and go
those that are most static
last the longest
then fade away
leaving empty symbols

civilizations come and go
those that are dynamic
have a short shelf life
they are soon gone
leaving a legacy of evolving ideas

galaxies come and go
just another process in the universe
