The Common Things
The common things, common to all,
The older ones down to the small,
Unique to each individual,
In connotation, if not in call.
How is it then that this is so,
That what so common all do know,
From the highest down to the low,
Could something different to each show?
Could it be not the common things,
Common to both peasants and kings,
That the differentiation brings,
But individuals differing?
Yes, I think it’s here the answer must be,
The difference lies within you and me.
