"The train of thought which leads to gloom and doom / Can pass right by without me aboard it / And anyway there is no longer room / Since everyone else is on it but me"

The Simplest Thing of All

 

I want no more of negativity

Life cannot bless those who merely obsess

From now on it is only hope for me

Whatever I do or do not possess

Hope is free and I can still afford it

 

The train of thought which leads to gloom and doom

Can pass right by without me aboard it

And anyway there is no longer room

Since everyone else is on it but me

 

I will not settle for a destiny

Of fear and darkness narrowness and war

Hatched in the brains of idiots today

We deserve better!  Why not demand more?

And I daresay I know a better way:

 

Before and behind beneath and above

The simplest thing of all which we call "Love"

The simplest thing of all which we call "Love"..... oh Stephen this is so beautiful! It is so powerful stating ... 'I want no more of negativity'! If only this was a daily affirmation for all! 'Why not demand more'.... Loved it! Suzie :-)
