Simple life

We desire too much,

there's so much rush,

to achieve, to earn,

have respect and position.

Bigger houses, costly vehicles,

to live big, display grandeur, 

become an elite, cream of society,

that deserves respect and admiration. 

Indeed, pride does have a place,

our families also need the space,

that help us interact in communities, 

with our aesthetics and the grace.

Still, the wants were spread,

to the extent of our greed,

letting us struggle, have worries,

for the lack of power, and luxury. 

Do we need much?

If our necessities were met,

and have enough reserves,

for the emergencies and accidents.

Still, we keep running,

missing out of our life,

wearying into a tedious living,

having regrets of missing out. 

Adulting into obligations, 

losing the hidden passions, 

stress making us unhealthy,

having conflicts in relations.

We were reminded of old days,

in the memories, a happy place,

we escape in various addictions,

or get detached of the stimulation. 

But, all it needs a calm life,

kind heart and a sweet home,

where connections were valued,

all moments were memorable. 

Living is not a competition, 

we all have our positions,

so, I won't desire too much,

accepting things as I move... 

To live a happy life, a simple life.
