Keep It Simple
                          by Eric L. Giese
First we are born unto this earth.
After that we learn to walk.
then it all begins.
That is when we learn to talk.
As children we ask questions.
As teenagers we talk back.
Finally we become adults.
Only to learn that life
is not white nor black.
Nor is it complex,
it is really quite simple you see.
All we must do to get along,
is treat each other respectfully.
