SPOKEN WORD: Simplicity of Faith & Acknowledgment

>>The fundamentals of simplicity are not fathomed

Entangled in the barbed wires of complexities

Simple words sing no more to the yearning ears

>>Heavy laden words and tedious conversations

Gnawing away at the precious moments of life

Disparity is making the divide in humanity

Thoughts no more in one’s control, all indoctrinated

Confusion and rage seems to be the new found ‘normal’

Wonder why simplicity is consigned to such a fate

>>Because what a miracle life can be!

To find greater meaning in our state of being

You must see the beauty in the simple things…

Yet simple they aren't if you break them apart.

Our entire world is a big piece of art.

Skillfully crafted by our god above

It's a shame that so many have missed it.

Overlooking all we have for what we do not need.

Stop and appreciate life, and your mind will be free!

>>Oh simplicity, how you reach out to my closed arms

I was in fear of how simple it may be to be happy

Without worldly possessions in grasps of my needy hands

>>Perfect simplicity

So seldom does visit me

That when it’s in the vicinity

I bask in its divinity

Simplicity is so beautiful

I can’t stop hearing its sweet whispers

They encourage me to believe

To keep my faith, to keep my perk.

I am here, I will be here

>>Simplicity is an acknowledgment of love

In diminished light.

Liberate your soul

And unshackle your mind.

You'll be amazed

At the beauty you shall find.

Let there be a new dawn of realization, to simply live

Breathe in the fresh era of clarity, with no malice

Simplicity, I pray to thee, turn your gaze towards humanity
