It's all been said, many people say,
Usually cynics
Or writers on a bad day,
But there's always more.
The world's not perfect,
But it's getting better than it was before,
And to say something new can further that change;
Though be sure not to lose your message
In the quest for something strange.
Indeed some are content
Simply to see how far they can push the envelope;
How deranged can they make us all?
Be not like them.
Listen instead to a higher call.
Nor be content
To find one working formula
And repeat it over and over and over and over;
That's been done before.
It's become a bore.
And even if you can't find news to say,
There will always be people
Who still haven't heard the old messages,
And you can tell them
In a new and interesting way.
