Round Or Square
All in nature is round not square,
life moves in round cycles.
Planets, sun and moon are round
even the winds move in circles.
Yet we humans choose a square life
we sleep in square beds in square rooms.
We eat in square rooms, relax in square rooms
go to work in square buildings sit at square desks.
We are so out of kilter with nature
whose rhymes flow in circles.
Yet we ignore her ways and live
such very square lives in square buildings.
Why? because we invented furniture.
So much easier to arrange in square rooms.
We let comfort dictate how we live
even to the point of ill health.
Do we really need these nice but modern things?
We sacrifice our well being to be like the Smiths and Jones.
How much room do we really need?
Somewhere to sit, eat and sleep is all really needed.
Yet we continue to build massive buildings.
Taking land that could be better used
to grow our food, for what? To make
us feel more important! To show off
to our neighbours all we have.
Live by natures ways and a sense
of peace and purpose fills our days.
Indians knew better with their tepees
they lived as one with nature.
Old ways make far more sense
and for fill us far more than a square.
To be at peace and in tune with nature
allow yourself to live a rounded life.
