Soldier Go, Sodier Come Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Let's be realistic
No one should be deceived
Life is seasonal
Nothing is permanent
As kings reigns
So does dynasties fizzle out
We've seen princes becoming slaves
So also does hirelings becoming kings
Soldier go, soldier come
Yet the barrack remains
Whatever position we are
Take cognizance someone was there
Another is waiting to take over
There is no vacuum in life
No one owns the world forever
We are just like a character
In a sensational soap opera
Before long the curtain will be drawn
Only the acts will be remembered
