Shallow

Shallow are some lakes

Shallow are most humans

Not because they’re dumb

But being shallow helps –

To not ponder about deep subjects

To escape clutches of looming dread

To live an uneventful life society accepts

To avoid having to seek solitude 

Is that a bad thing one might ask

Just as every other question

In this indifferent universe

The answer is “It depends”
