Simplicity -Sk

Clarity is pivotal i affirm, 
when sowing seeds of knowledge,
grey clouds of blurred waffle,
confuse and confound,
urgent student quest,
so frustrated by slovenly,
speech and incoherence,
verbose rambling is anthema,
the scourge of earnest erudition,
teachers, parents, tutors,
hark my heartfelt  pleading,
 simple words, sentences, stanzas,
demystify intricate tangled webs,
please extol simplicity’s rich heritage
