About Simplicity

Sometimes thinkin that simple people lead better lives
no complicated misunderstandings, overexaggerated egotism
simple people see things with ease, with tender and care
they don't know how to and don't want to know the scenes behind
they tend to only see things first-sightedly as they are
they don't want to know the meaning under the skin
they cannot see everything
the truth often bloody and disgusting, but always shows itself as delicate and fantastic

Sometimes simple people are much more disadvantageous in social life
or so they used to say, simple people see simple things
they only see things that their eyes can comprehend
other opportunities thus, are lost to those more slick and cunning ones
they are often branded 'stupid' by those self-proclaimed intellect
but as to me, simplicity.... I just knew that, simplicity is all I ever wanted.

Just how I wish life is not so topsy-turvy and the road is not so distorted
Instead getting a wish like that granted
 all I can do is just stand there and stare
as the all-consuming, complex dilemma and conflict slowly burns me up
leaving ashes .....getting blew away by wind and leaving nothing.
