Why Couldn’t I Have Been Simplistic
Why couldn’t I have I been simplistic, Oblivious, Happy for no reason? Waking up each day joyful to be alive? Taking it all in, minute by Fast minute. Going about my day without a care. Watch as wars rage on, for reasons No one remembers anymore. Let hunger and famine Wipe out countless humans While I have food to waste. Let people be happy wining awards And congratulate each other. Let people feel important Uncovering old mysteries And finding new answers. Turn off the TV Ignore the news Scroll past headlines Watch only cute cats And smart dogs. Watch funny people Cover their pain In jokes older than time Let them sedate us into numbness. Forget about Death and dying, the mortgage, The bills. Forget about feeling Insignificant Knowing well we are.
