You never step into the same river twice

No guarantees in life
my friend,
nothing stays
quite the same
you never step
into the same river twice, it is said
the writing on the wall
reflects it too
the grafitti expresses
someone's angst
the drawing
grotesquely represents
the truth
and what might that be
do you understand?
or are you in the same
boat as i am?
Ignorance is not bliss
but a painful
trip
a different ride
everyday
a turning tide
no, don't run away!
for you never step into the same river
twice.
