Simple Fool

I am not religious
I am not deep
I am so simple
In one adage
I believe.

As I sow so shall I reap
I must look before I leap
The world can be
A beautiful place
If we strive to embrace
Peace and grace

Love and light
Winning all the wars
The best of us
Ascending
To connect redeem and
Heal our scars

Kindness above all
To thine self be true
And do unto others
As you would like them
To do unto you

I know this mish-mash
Is a cut copy paste
But in cultural
Echo chambers
Of insanity
Perhaps a reconnaissance
And return to roots
Is what would
Serve us best.

I am a fool for love
A simple tool
Not the brightest in the shed
And quite often
An obstinate mule.

But I bathe in the sun's heat
Frolic in the cool winds
The rain sprays my soul
Holiest of oil
And in such  radiant joy 
Am I
Baptised anew.
