Elementary Life

It'll be a good life,

No traffic or cars,

No lights from the city

Obscuring the stars.

Cows in the meadows,

Grazing sheep flock,

Buggies and horses

Turn back the clock.

Flannel shirt farmers

And calico wives,

Children in families

Where families survive.

No water, no sewer,

No oil or gas -

On dirt covered roads

Rare vehicles pass.

Unending the world

Does further the space

Distinguishing now

From this time and place.

Where flora and fauna
Exist without strife -

A part of the whole,

It'll be a good life.
