Rendered Redundant

rendered redundant

imagine imagine
all those things 
we saw as abundant
rendered redundant

what once we could only imagine 
now it has become so real
we can truly see and feel
we can live cooped in a cabin

the handbags and  shoes
time spent on hairdos
the make-up and ties
we can say goodbye

what once we thought essential
has become so tangential
need a change in mindset
then  no cause to be upset

home becomes haven
no need to be shaven
basics kick in
we can all live in

when the shoes are left out
like homes of the devout
find floors kept clean
cleanliness half of Deen

what if we ate on the floor
slept in the floor 
comfort in simplicity
has it’s own dignity
