This poem regarding simple living and simply living is about simply valuing people over things. Such an anti-consumerist lifestyle recognizes that increasing materialism edges out, and often runs roughshod over, our shared humanity. May we live ever aware and valuing our priceless humanity.
Simply Living
They lived
Simple lives
No’ing that consumerism
The weigh of capitalism
Freely trading
People for things
That awe-consuming cynicism
A greed upon
Things souled
For coveted properties
Yet they lived
In that awkward abundance
Of awe that can
Not be bought
Ensouled
