   To state, very little gets done can be a state one   
   finds one's elf in when seeing very little getting done.   
      
   How little is little and how much is too much.   
   From being a work in progress to a play at recess,   
   people go and do. For me, the least is the best, usually.   
      
   Hunting and gathering sounds ideal. Almost as good   
   as waiting for food to fall from trees in a jungle   
   full of life, where shelter isn't needed nor   
   shoes on one's feet.   
      
   Taoism is nostalgic at times. Texts hearken back   
   to before when Warring States of minds were   
   not and before any empires were.   
      
   On another hemisphere of a pale blue dot,   
   tribes of people lived in what's deemed a stone age   
   for the most part. While they had iron, flint was better.   
      
   Did they live in peace. Were they happier than modern   
   humans who see their own actions as detrimental.   
   For ten thousand years the hemisphere was pristine.   
      
   Naturally natural oar did they sew it seams.   
   Weaving and boating, fishing rivers and lands   
   were vast, unencumbered by cities full of cars.

   Dreamers dream of a scene seen in the future   
   when all beings are at peace, one imagines.   
      
   Countries, religions and competitions exist   
   without being too serious, knowing how,   
   why and what limits are. People agree   
   to play with and against each other.   
      
   - as if there were, others ...
