iTumbleweed

Ohhhhhhhh I should become a tumbleweed
Such a simple existence they have indeed
They just come & go & drift about as the wind leads
Very simple things and they really have no needs
But they're dead-damn it Jim-and so they are not free
They have no roots & so they are tossed about as a ship at sea
They have no intellect & they sure don't breathe
Can we learn anything from them as they be?
Keep it so simple comes to mind you see
Don't get caught up in the world's materialistic greed
Make positive, helpful, & encouraging morals & values your creed
Slow down & look all around at nature from the ground to tops of trees
Slow down world. What's the hurry? Why go at such high speed?
Do you even stop to enjoy the meal upon which you feed?
Sit down, take a while, & put up your feet
You there, doing a million things a day, how well do you sleep?
Oh the complicated tangled web society dost weave
You must buy this or get that or be this & that becomes our belief
What seeds are you sowing? That's the harvest that you will reap
Have you ever sat & listened to the symphony of silence & found peace?
We live here in the present now & can only focus on today's keep
Get out of the fast lane, go on, take that big leap
So many run themselves into the ground & crumble into a heap
What have they gained in their chase of their perhaps foolish dreams
I'd rather float along upon a soothing stream
I've no idea what this has to do with tumbleweeds; what does this mean?
I don't know & it sure beats the heck out of this me
Become simple like a tumbleweed perhaps, I guess, & it seems
Much of what we toil for & after amounts to a hill of beans
Welp am done now & well wasn't that keen?
