Commonsense Solutions

It is believed that we need solutions innovative

For real world problems, we need to get creative

Challenging the status quo is required

To get to the utopian state desired..

*

Words like creativity and innovation have an undeniable appeal

But in chasing out of the box solutions, I feel

We forget that commonsense solutions can be found

To many problems, if we simply look around

*

In a world with resources that are finite

We must keep wastage of resources in sight

Too often, enough attention to simple solutions we do not give

We are lured by complex solutions that are resource-intensive

*

Undoubtedly there is a need for ideas new

But there is a place for simple, timeless and commonsense solutions too
