Simplistic

Simplistic

Part 1

An immense slope

more a wall than anything else

braces itself against mountains

and people watch

staring like trees

in unison

unwavering

words accepted, not contested

the people stand in rank and file

contemplating life

and their dreams

concerned, are they too slight?

or perhaps too lofty?

doomed to lose themselves

seeing everything as the same

to see others as workers

possessions as tools

to lose the simple beauty

of a crack or a cliff

Part 2

a small crack

more a blade than anything else

the weak point, holding the weight

and no one cares to notice

moving past it, a stream of water

in unison

yielding

words contested not accepted

the rabble of people flow

dwelling on frivolities

and mistakes

dreading, will they fail?

or grow out of proportion

fated to doom their creator

nothing remains similar

others have freedom

tools as possessions

having lost the simple beauty

of a corner, or a cliff
