"Focus"

The floors are trodden soil

Packed down by busy feet
No glass adorn the windows
Just hinged covers, nice and neat

No keys are needed for security

The only predator is the wild
A cougar here and there
Maybe a bear seeming mild

The stove has many purposes

Most of which are necessities
Food for your belly
Heat for cold nights
Hot water for washing comfortably

Nature's alarm clocks sing you from sleep

Their babies hungry for food
Spring mornings, always vivid with life
Never could there be a better mood

Civilization has come a long way

From our early beginnings indeed
Yet, still, it could be better
If we'd read the bible, every letter
And stay focused on the word "need"
