Simple Living

Invoked gods functioned unified
The biggest theirs the only domicile
In proclaimed unison the villages
Long ago..
Housed in artistic, sculptural hearts
Dwelt in palaces patronising kings
And in moneyed mansions
Stealthy few merchants
Ruling authorities, commercial minorities
Long ago..
Living prototypically housed
In a life prototypically flourished
Unbiased of food, clothe, shelter
Subjected simplicity self satiated
Propitiated impartiality
How then the emulous rivalry there be?
Peaceful long ago..
But....?
