Life will be simpler if
only we could live and let live;
if only we could live and let go
of our big, black bag of woes.

Life will be simpler if only
we could move about freely,
unafraid of predators lurking secretly
to snub out our lives mercilessly.

Life will be simpler if only
we could all live harmoniously.
Life will be more secure for parents if only
children could practice filial piety.

Life will be simpler if only
parents could stop being pushovers really,
pressuring their kids to achieve
and fast forwarding tender lives by leaps.

Life will be simpler if only
we could live contentedly
with no need for the paper chase
and no speed for the rat race.
