Been Said Before

Think about it

The breadth

Depth

And length of it

This human condition

All of the buried skulls

Had smiles

All of the powdered hearts

Loved

We haven’t invented anything human

Any new thoughts

Something close to your every line

Has been said before

Many times

In many languages

We flatter ourselves

Many fold
