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.
Look for posts on a subject, Bible verse or quotation.
I KEEP IT SHORT & SIMPLE.
Why?
Almost half of American adults read below high school level. God looks at your heart, not your reading skills. Big faith can be built on simple words.
