I'd Rather Dance and Sing

I have slept during the scholar's teaching

Have imagined Elysium in the company of saints

Drifted off in thought

I have dreamed of a world without pain

While the world burned

Again

I slept rather than learn
Because I am content

The world calls my name

It is too serious

I am too tired
The world is busy

 Making gadgets and gizmos
 Fighting many wars
They tell me to be ashamed
But
I believe in peace
I believe in simplicity
And care nothing for fame
