Simplicity

The human species is quite young,
Nature's where we must learn from.
For it has got it quite down packed
Just how we must learn to act.

Cooperate not dominate.
Reunite not seperate.
Only take what you need,
Replace each harvest with a seed.

Learn that we are more than just
That which slowly consumes us.
The less we try to prove so much
The more we learn ourselves to trust.

Simplicity is always best
When what you crave 
Is your success.
And that is only measured by
What makes you shine 
Your brightest light.
