Simply Now

The vision of utopia
I see in my mind
Is full of people
Both courageous and kind

You have a different dream
Full of power and fame
The one with the most money
Wins the whole game

We both are wrong
So let us not fight
Your God is not better
Nor is mine always right

Desire focuses energy
On that which we long
Some wish to conquer
Some to just get along

But the most joyful people
Are desireless and free
Their minds aren’t dreaming
Of a life that might be

They follow their Spirit
Trusting their heart
Whether pulling up weeds
Or planting new starts

Joy is lived in THIS moment
Not in some future thought
Desires are useless
And Joy can’t be bought.
