Read what Jesus says in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). He packs huge thoughts into simple sentences.
If God can get his ideas across without big words, so should we.

I don’t care ’bout fancy phrases,
or the haughty learned talk
that thinks it awes and amazes
those on a lower walk.
The fifty-cent vocabulary
is a waste of breath and time
and fades before the ordinary
words defined by grime.
The soft hands and softer lips
bespeak the arrogant privilege
that by obfuscation rips
town and hearth and village.
If you can’t just say it plain,
clear out quick; don’t dare remain.
“Just say it plain,” that’s my goal!
