Virtue lies in simple lines
Unencumbered by the times,
Same old song's familiar tune
Breeds contentiousness's classic rune....
"That worrisome and trouble lurks
So deep in thoughts, where trouble works."
Shed ye the dark within, old friend,
Then whisper, soft, thy song again.

That Same Old Song
Why carry this weight?
Does reward await
some years ahead
but...before I'm dead?
Is there virtue in the same pain
felt again and again,
that same old song
I've been singin' for so long?
