A Not Sung Song
The lyrics are out of tune
A bird cannot sing
The meaning misunderstood
A sign not read
We have to know ourselves
Before we can know each other

In otherwords, you can’t sing about others until you sing about yourself. I think I was being lazy when I wrote this, sure isn’t much to it.

I don’t think you were being lazy, I think you were being profound. Some of the most profound sayings are word few. I’m not much for quoting the bible, but one of the first verses I memorized was “Jesus wept.” John 11:35.
That one verse opened up a whole new meaning of the bible to me.
Your poem is true. We can’t know other’s before we know ourselves.
