The simple life We all strive for Cannot be called simple If we ignore the Brothers and sisters Needing our help Go live in nature In a 10 X 15 foot hut And try to answer To anyone but yourself You make a good case For peace with nature But what does it mean With a world collapsing About you – peaceful existence Living off of nature But fails in our assignment To be of service to each other I visualize the parade With the band and majorettes Music is powerful But what about our deeds We must reach out To those in need Serve them beyond Their expectations We inspire them – Those in need and They adjust their greed Get involved in life Keep it simple too Only then will the Simple life be true Stanski May 9, 2021 ^
