I propose reducing Toki Pona to a single word:

Tinkerers Anonymous: Some people can't help making changes to "fix" Toki Pona. This is a playground for their ideas.

mu.
i am no longer an active speaker of toki pona for two reasons:
life is not simple
the language appropriates words from the languages of colonized people

Too restrictive. Keep the particles, so:

o Mu! mu la mu pi mu mu li mu mu e mu, kepeken mu, sama mu, tawa mu, lon mu, poka mu.

That pretty much sums up everything I've ever said in toki pona.

I guess pi is sort of redundant now, since it is always some sort of pi mu mu.

'mu pi mu mu' is different from 'mu mu mu', just as mu li mu is different from 'mu mu'.
I still prefer 'a'.
