Easy Living

The question to ask is, are you failing?

Or just gliding through life, easily sailing

Avoiding challenges, don’t push too hard

Never look silly, always on your guard

Stay always safe, do not take any risk

Much easier way to avoid life’s evil twist

I’m getting by nicely, why should I push?

I’m in no hurry, there’s no reason to rush

Go slow and steady, avoiding harm’s way

It’s not about winning, just get thru the day

Ambition is a fallacy, chasing foolishness

Just do enough, that is always the best

No one can laugh, point an accusing finger

No shame or embarrassment around to linger

Greatness is not for meant for everyone

Legacy of some minor deed you’ve done

Who needs the hassle? It’s too much effort

No thanks, I rather have nothing to report!

Edison did what? Ten thousand times?

He obviously was a man out of his mind!

Got no time for that, just bumble along

I have no pressing desire to be the one!

No hero complex here, no one to save

Just let me tip-toe safely to my grave

No point in enquiring, I won’t even try

I don’t need excitement, I’m not that guy

Let others be foolish, trying to get seen

No drink, drugs or dancing, keeping clean

Live fast, die young with great memories?

I’d rather live long and leave no legacy
