Simple Things
Lost in a maze of diversity,
Where answers often seem
Confused and complex.
As momentum has engulfed
The basics, creating layers
To confound any cortex.
The forgetfulness seldom goes
Perpetual, as genius eventually
Discovers the day.
When it strips away the waste
And the chaff, & simply discards
It to throw away.
Recalling that long-lost pleasure,
Easily uproots
Any unwanted pain.
As simplicity requires little
Effort, and in general, is
Far less to explain.
