Changes with "permanence"
Ecclesiastes 2:13 New English Translation (NET Bible)
13 I realized that wisdom is preferable to folly,
just as light is preferable to darkness:
Life is slowly moving in as black turns to grey
A place where the sun cannot be found
Almost like a haze before clearing the mind
Is this an expectation to go around and round?
Artificial lights grow dim as noises break the solitude
invading and taking over the early day
in a sudden rush, doors are slammed as cars intrude
for accomplishments of the past to pay
Routine surely takes over the freedom that was given
to form in hurry many habits right and wrong
Falling into a doll-drum that has become unforgiving
that now only in possession a to lost humanity belongs
