      Simplicity - Paul Kloschinsky

      Overgrowth

      It used to be wild.

      The virgin forest of society.

      Then they came with their rules

      and cross,

      and morals,

      and pruned mankind

      into a well groomed affair.

      Suppressing everything natural

      and joyful,

      leaving just raw remnants

      of things that once were

      and used to be

      arms if love and fun,

      until the abuse started

      when desire was driven

      deep underground.

      But now that is changing

      with the rules being rejected

      and like weeds that continue to grow

      because their roots are not pulled out,

      the true human heart

      will explode once again

      after science and religion

      are seen as false gods

      and the raw, wild return

      of the roots of society

      overgrowing the pruning forces,

      that once ruled with terror,

      these returning forces

      will transform society,

      like a golf course that was left alone

      and grew into a wild forest,

      into a place where

      people celebrate their desires,

      and love,

      and joy,

      and faith,

      the cross receding

      into a distant memory

      letting people live life

      to the fullest

      as natural as

      a blossoming rose

      or a tropical rain forest

      in springtime.

      Will

      It doesn’t always go

      the way you want it to go.

      Like river rafters

      the journey can be rough,

      and the destination fixed

      beyond your control.

      For His will is as firm

      as a snowy mountain peak

      insisting that you accept

      His plans for you.

      Even though you whine,

      and get angry,

      and bargain,

      and get terribly sad

      in the end it will always go His way

      and all you can do is pray

      that He harbors some feelings

      for you and your
