They played it for them, it'll be played for us (Day 13)

 
This too shall pass;  
Well, that's the way it goes.  
Whatever it is will probably get swept away  
in Time's wide wake  
even if it seems like your world  
is nothing but a whirlpool now.  
 
Though of course,  
Nothing is new under the Sun  
so it seems.  
It has all been done before  
the only real difference  
being the names and dates  
and whatever it is dressed up in.  
 
Here today and gone tomorrow;  
maybe in a different hat and such,  
panic if you want or stay stoically calm  
not much between the two;  
might as well shrug and grin I suppose.
