It’s not all that complicated.

We breathe in, we breathe out,
While we’re at it, Not much to think about.

Eyes shut like a butterfly wing does flutter,
The images stored, never close the shutter.

Seconds pass by, minutes disappear,
Talking it all away in a conversation here.

Your eyes absorbing every letter read,
What is the author telling you? Times ahead…

As you tilt you head sideways and continue
Is it but a wonder what was said to you,
Was said to me, in silent whispers, in another realm.

Our forefathers looking at us from heavens above
Watching us, as day in and day out we perform
The routine that makes us ancestors of robots.

Life is simple, why complicate it at all?
You don’t get what you want, leave it at that
Try harder if you believe there’s a chance
Else stop standing and complaining, move on.

But never let the mind deceive you
What the heart wants, the heart gets
It is what is the near future begets
For taking a chance to get what you deserve.

Worry not, work harder and stride
We will all look up at you with honor and pride.
The difference between normal and great
Is the one who can simplify his life by trait.

The simpler you, the easier you see
You goal is within your reach, go for it..
For you, for me, for all eternity,
Your goal is within your reach, go for it!!
