Simplicity

Could it be that is was all
So simple then?
Compared to now
We seek a small victory,
yet pay a heavy price.
How wonderful to owe
no debts.

Could it be that we were
lying then?
Compared to now
We rip hard-built peace
To shreds with obsession.
How wonderful to set
Ourselves free.

Could it be that we were
Smarter then?
compared to now
We gag our souls on
dirty rags of progress.
How wonderful to seek
To build, not destroy.

could it be that it was all
So simple then?
compared to now
we tilt after windmills
And ignore our hearts.
How wonderful to change
The world, not complain.
