"The Simple Life" (by Joe DiMino)
I have often thought
The simple life
Then thought, how simply thought
If life were oh so simple,
Would not simple be too simple?
Who would drink of Gold Chalice?
Seek Fleece as Jason sought?
Would any die
For what none can see?
If not for deeper heart,
Willing to discard
Our surface part
Would any give ones life
For strangers lost?
For reasons far from obvious
Light from purer source,
Sacrifice ones mortal life
Pay such lethal cost
Simple would be all loss
Nogive me complex irony
That which simple
Cant lazily define
Simple is resign
Gaunt and wasted
Simple is pasted
Not my taste in Rhine,
Give me nothing,
If spirited blood
Is not my wine!
