Simple

Once upon a time in a deep and darken land

There was a world full of creatures of plants, seas and sands

Simple was their custom, growth everyday

But just a little little, balance, wind, sun and rain

Season would come and go live and die again

The continuum was simple, refresh with weather friend

But as time did pass the world did go around

Around, around, around she went, spinning up and down

And all those simple creatures their thoughts grew and grew

They forgot about the simple, forgot about the true

Heads grew bigger bigger they could could not hold them all

Their questions needed answers the ‘W’s started to call

Who, What, When and Why Became the masters call

and simple changed her outlook, confusion came to call

‘We must know everything, everything and all,

we must store it here and here open to all.

For if we all think the same our unity complete, 

no contrast, no argument no-one can compete.

We will all be the same, be part of a global plan,

one culture, one brotherhood, one….’

And so with that it did grow, material did rise, 

melting down nature, turning grey skies.

And with the ‘W’s 

he did feed the ants again.

On empty minds he filled them up, filled to the brim

He filled them up, he filled again,

again, again he poured, again, again, again, again,

‘Stop, Stop, Stop No more!’

But now the access into the mind was clear,

a never ending flow, a reminder of natures river.

It rained knowledge and answers to all the questions asked

But holding simple numbers could not now be tasked,

So Mirrors he brought in, mirrors to help them see,

but mirrors only gave reflections of who they were promised to be.

‘I am tired’ they called, but supplements they stored

‘Leave me alone’ they cried, ’Shhhhh, you’ll survive’

Simple was lost and forgotten, simple could not see,

blinded by the lights and stuffed with wants and needs.

The promise of greater things, but left with nothing less

Simple started to look, but found no heartbeat in her chest.

Cos Capitalist did capitalise on capitalistic things and Capitalist did promise, he promised everything.
