Simple progress
Before modernity
Growth was only for living creatures
With limited features
But these days
Even things can blossom
With the magic of packaging
Trees with start of spring
Objects with getting packed
And I with being with you
We can all flourish
As simple as that

REST
My body's not a stone, unyielding and cold
Nor is it wood, unfeeling, and old
It's flesh and blood, with needs that must be met
Rest and relaxation, to rejuvenate and reset
Don't be a slave to labor, toiling ceaselessly
For when you're gone, your efforts will be but a memory
Those you've worked for, will call you a fool, in

Reap Benefits Via Moderate Sleep
Get up as far as possible earlier
To be exact, before the Sun-rise
Surely body will feel damn tired
But, by practice, you can do this
In case you feel greatly sleepy
Wash your face in cool water
And pour water on your feet
Mentality will slightly change
Go not and again fall in the bed
As that will bring back only sleep
Better to

Moonshine Shuffle - Moderate Country Waltz
Moonshine, diesel fumes, and chicken wire.

Work boots laced with leather thongs.
Wedding portrait on the mantel piece.
Shotgun right where it belongs.
Kettle simmers on a cast iron stove.

Extremely Moderate Advice On the Consumption of Slightly Poisoned Food
The god of this world is not wholly
Wholly good or wholly evil.
He does his best to avoid extremes.
With his cornucopia he feeds the paying multitudes
While the rest discreetly hunger. He nourishes,
Admixing with good food insignificant,
That is – as far as we can tell - insignificant
Doses of toxin. We must say grace mindful
That slightly poisoned food

Moderate Debauchery, Part Iii
...And though I miss Riff playing shows with me,
I can't say that his decision is wrong,
I'll take my best friend however I can,
I need him to stay healthy and strong.
As for me, I guess I have become
the land band member truly standing,
I still use the name, hired a support band,
and every year do three months

Moderate Debauchery, Part Ii
...When we heard of his loss we took it hard,
at first it was very hard to believe,
and it made me double my efforts to
moderate my own debauchery.
But within a year it all began again,
this time with Bomber, our hammer on the drums,
he was always something of a wild man,
and ever sober could be somewhat...dumb.
I know

Moderate Debauchery, Part I
When I was fifteen my friend 'Riff' and I
started our very own garage band,
and for the first year we truly stank,
but I've always been a dedicated man.
I pushed Riff, and we quickly got better,
soon started writing songs of our own,
got a drummer, 'Bomber,' and bassist, Caplan,
folks were downloading our songs to their phones.
Soon we attracted
