I dearly loved the good old days,
with peaceful, sane simplicity.
I am greatly disturbed
by this present life,
of hurry, scurry, stress
and eternal strife.
With this age of technology
we are forced to face,
the ever maddening race
for the dollars and the power.
Tomorrow is too late to finish
the work we must do today,
to prevent the shirk of
head lines and tensions,
which erase all sense of fair
play and thoughtful kindness.
In the pressure of this frantic
world, with its stress, greed,
lust and single mindedness,
we fail to understand the true
meaning of this life God gave to us.
We strive, we work, dream
and toil, struggling not to let
this mortal strain break us.
But no matter how much stress
we face, we must fight the
good fight the best we can,
trying not to leave this deadly
mess to future generations.

I've had this attitude my whole life: to live simply and avoid the business of the world.
