Change came, change appeared
Chances were now minimal
The flowering youthtime said goodbye
Chancefulness was no longer present
The sun had set
Nothing was just as it was
Despite the talks and chances of life
They cried
Praying the rising of the sun to appear
Yet it was too late
It was temporal
What they tried to rush for all that while
Yes they cherished that which was just as chasing the wind
The Holy Book says so
It’s all vanity
Yet they didn’t see it
Change came, change appeared
They cried
Praying for the rising of the sun to appear
Yet it was too late
The damsels went forth
Worthwhile for the beauty of their bodies
Fearing to late their mate
Changing the color and the size
Not knowing it was temporal
For them that were natural were choosen
Change came, change appeared
They cried
Praying for the rising of the sun to appear
Yet it was too late
Long was the vision they desired
To start a life full of happiness
But the wrong motive of each other destroyed everything
The hardwork
The life of men
Soon as more seemly
Change came, change appeared
And to them it was crying
Yet it was too late
It was the fate
The fate of the hands achieving
The lazy kings and queens in their kingdom
That brought the snatching of them
Change came, change appeared
They cried
And nothing could be done
For it was too late.
