Simple man

Where are the boundaries of a good man,

Who would define him,

refine him and tell him who to be.

I want to know and in that direction I’ll go

into such are rare endeavor

not clever but into simple.

' such are rare endeavor - not clever but into simplicity. '

If i may shift the word 'simplicity' into 'simple' : at least we know a simple man has little guile, few pretensions and walks his own path rather than be someone else's puppet! Your words romp sedately and really open thought-doors.

Thank you for reading and commenting. I'm going to take your advice on that word change, thank you.

very thought provoking and deep and profound. such a short poem but full of so much. people must know their boundaries. well written.
