Off On A Tangent

Nothing new under the sun
This I hear on repeat play
"There is nothing new under the sun"


Took me a while to digest 
Such sentiments, to rational, "you rationalize" 
I mean; do explain, please do tell


Such confused statements
To have authored with bold
Without reference made, what authority 


So for a while I sat, to mine meaning
I had to, such parables, puzzling puzzles 
Haunt me to find meaning, to free my thoughts 


Is it for the primary element of sentiments 
That such boldness are authored 
For it could not be for all things 


To spit in the face of inventions
And great minds celebrated 
I could not phantom common grounds 


But the 60's are back, the 80's too
On cat walk and to the masses  
Boots and skirts," to the moon" walk of Micheal  


And it is on realisation, of what already does exist 
We deem as discovery celebrated, discovering America  
Like gravity, and relativity as laws


OK so to some reference given 
But none for inventions made 
Like microchips and light bulb flash LED 


Yet I find such grand statements, too bold to stand
But for emotions, I will have to allow
For lust, love, grief and joy, betrayal too.


There is nothing new under the sun
But for the occasional asteroid fall 
And man's desire to invent wonder 
From the elements that surround 


And as with poetry
I would have to allow romance 
To be the defining notion, war and peace  
There is nothing new under the sun 


What is that stack under my boot?
