THE IRONY

When I was young
Everything seemed so simple
But I always knew

It was all much more complicated

All my life
I sorted efficiently
I educated passionately
I pondered meticulously
I calculated through
I wrestled proudly
I discerned bitterly
I mourned deeply
I chose with soul

Now, I am older... wiser... and tired
After sifting through the complications
Funny I find myself wanting
Only simple things

Funny I find truth

In only simple things
