Simple, Not Easy

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. ~ Albert Einstein
Analysis, pretentiousness, statistics
all obfuscate, prevaricate, befog, confuse.
Erudite statements convey no knowledge
except the obnoxiousness of the peacock's
condescension.

Damaged psyches need no belittling yet hear
only the superior attitude, not the words,
no matter how intelligent, how articulate.
We've been lectured, commanded, dominated
long enough.

We come for help, for hope, for life and love.
Understanding, wordless hugs, examples
spoken in first person, shown by deeds
hold profound truth, convey the depths braggarts
only dream of.
