SIMPLICITY

Simplicity is what I crave,

And be in abundance but still keep humility,

To be influencing yet allow influence,

But the mystics of life,

The pleasantries of temptation,

Always drive me astray, astray into luxury

Simplicity is what I crave,

For am despised by exuberance,

They say   it bears immorality

And am scared, scared of falling short,

For am only sententious, am only a man

A man trapped between luxury and simplicity.

Simplicity is what I crave,

To have and not seem like have,

To have yet not seem like I don’t have,

I pray for society’s help, society’s humility

For we’re born to prejudice

Whether in luxury or simplicity.
