There is a superpower I’d like to possess
I think it might be the key to success
Or at least, a life of greater fulfillment
To master Simplicity is my intent..
*
In a world that grows increasing complex every day
More stimuli assault my senses in every way
Truth and fiction jostle for recognition in my mind
I seem to lose sight of what is important, I find
That I am trying to process too much simultaneously
And nothing gets done well eventually
*
Therefore these days my greatest desire
Is to simplify life, through regular practice acquire
The ability to distill down most aspects of life
Into their essence that is needed to thrive
Ruthlessly trim down all the fluff
Get rid of all the superfluous stuff
That my energy and time can drain
Let things be unembellished and plain
Reduce my social media consumption such
That all I use it for is to stay in touch
With people that I care about, and minimize
Sensational truths, distorted facts and plain lies
*
As I harness this superpower of simplicity
I hope more space in my life would be free
To be occupied by matters of consequence
Hopefully my life would have more substance
Passion...unbridled
