Simple Simon

Eat when hungry
Sleep when sleepy

Not simple 
With thoughts nimble

Go where we expand in joy
Forsaking egoic ploy

Is there an inhibition or limitation
To flow thus in unending elation

Live simply
Act humbly

Better a rebel, a nerd
Than a blind follower of the herd

Can we
Do we
Are we

Happy you enjoyed! It is actually a poetic interpretation of one of the verses of Vijnana Bhairava Tantra!

Wise words. Brings to mind “freedom from or freedom to”. Great write!

It is true that most of us probably need to question the definition of freedom that has been taught to us our whole lives. I appreciate that sentiment in this poem.
