It's the same old picture,
but with different colours;
It's the same old people,
but with different faces;
It's the same old lessons,
that we will never learn;
It's the same old problems,
but with different excuses;
It's the same old script,
but with different words;
It's the same old story,
I wish I'd never heard.

Old everything which are presented in new visions. Really beautiful presentation.
I often think to myself, wouldn't it be wonderful to hear something we haven't heard before? I remain patiently optimistic! Thanks for the reminder.....I will do my best today, to say something new! With PEACEful promise. Thank you for this poignant pointing in the right direction.
