SIMPLICITY

 

SIMPLICITY

Blackness claims the innocence of expression

Chains enfold the desires of freedoms flight

Time forever curtailed into precise schedules

What is the idealism, a tainted vision

People boxed into conformity and uniformness

A world viewed through a cracked looking glass

Like the void it engulfs and devours

Destroying beauty of simplicity

A machine called modernization crawls forward

Taking the child, deforming the gift

Making us insects to crawl blindly onward

Until finally we perish without retribution

I hear a song singing silently almost a whisper

It calls to me urging, intoxicating so dear

The desire to drown in its pools overwhelm me

I am falling in love with a vision so clear

Beauty and simplicity to be seen as I came

No longer desolate, no longer any blame

I yearn for the dance, I ache for the cure

A life of acceptance, a world without restrictions

I want to be free, to grow, let me be
