The Art of Simplicity

It doesn’t matter what you wear

Or if you shave your hair

Take off your shoes and socks

Or have special rocks

It’s not about the gods

Or a particular prayer

For I’ve seen men at odds

Without taking care

Forget about the diet

The violence and riots

It’s not the cold water

Or something someone else thought of

It isn’t the Ashram, temple or church

That brings all the magic to this universe

So nurture the garden within your soul

And let kindness be your ultimate goal

See the beauty in others eyes

And the struggles they work to hide

Remember, the ripples from a single act

Spreads further than one can see

A chain reaction that begins with you and me.

There’s no secret wisdom 

you don’t already know

For being a good person 

is bringing peace, courage and love, wherever you go.
