Simplicity

Simplicity

Sometimes better a simple life, sometimes
Sometimes, but what is simple, what isn’t?

I just think from my life experience and pain
Better to live like a poor, lonely desert father

Yes, like a hermit, heart and soul stay clean
Oh, this is a lie, sometimes like the nightlife

“That’s not a problem”, said Master Satan.
“Simple can be rich, only a hidden reality.”

Yes. A simple life opens a lot of covert ways
“You mean latent paths. Uniqueness of life.”

Uniqueness. All the suffering and anguish?
These make me clouds and mists in my life

“Yes, later the sun rises. Light shines on you.
“Oh, okay, I see your problem. The bad times.”

Yes. Up, down. Neutral period, thinking, hush
Confusion, tension. Mental and soul tension

“Where does this tension come from? This suffering?
Not from nature, not from natural life. From humans

“What humans?” Pseudoscience. Mental crime
Yes. Insensitive, cold spiritual worlds. Psychology

“Psychology is not spiritual”, said Master Satan.
Psychology is a self-interested power center.

But who is the self? “You know him. Stateliness.
Psychology serves state power there. Secret.”

Secret personnel. “Yes.” These psychologists killed
Killed my life. My life goals. My family. My lives

“You are right. Because you are from Europe.”
Because I didn’t accept their sick tendencies.

“Because you are health.” I don’t need this science.
“Stateliness must enjoy his kind of psychology.  His.”

We are far from simplicity.
“No, we are close to friendship.”

Our relationship is more than friendship. You are my Master.
“But you are my student who is an urban hermit. Am I right?”

I live a simple life
"So difficult"

Yes. Hmm
And you are also lonely

“Our fate is one.” 
Fate is chosen

Hm
My pleasure
Thank you, Master

“Cheers”

I need my life, and peace 
But they stole it from me
I want to live my life, alone
Without them, but with God

"You are right 
You have the right
Live your life."
