simple things in life
are so often the best
amidst all this strife
beauty and sweet rest
in a world that is rife
with pain, but a test
simple man tries his
utmost to bring joy
to others, but this
is not the way, boy
he clenches his fist
knowing he is a toy
simply growing tall
and straight is not
enough, you will fall
the tree begins to rot
laughter fills the hall
hitting you like a shot
betwixt and between
all the fighting your
certain to be seen
then upon your door
step the next scene
begins on your floor
you struggle and gasp
fighting for a breath
with a sad hollow rasp
it enters your breast
your hands try to clasp
and slip off to death
what you do not know
falling with a crash
peace is yours though
but deep is the gash
as you leave to go
to heaven in a flash
so the simple thing
that could not be
what but a ring
in a circle, merely
round we go thinking
what can we not see
