Rural Reflections: 'Simply'
In the grand scheme of things we call life, it’s sometimes easy to see it all — the chaos, the divide, and sometimes the misinformation. Regardless of our beliefs, it’s "simply" everywhere.

Simply
Simply, we're in a feud.
Day to day, running out of food.
Place to place, the penny doesn't pay.
Disgrace, disgrace, they wanted it that way.
Simply, stories of passion need a voice.
It doesn't need the bigger one by choice.
I simply do the job, because I need it.
I write a lot, the pen bleeds it.
Sometimes, I see hatred, in their writing.
Simply put, it's overriding.
Poisoning themselves, they want it all.
Meanwhile, it's opening their self, waiting to fall.
We're not saying everyone's a loss, or sometimes undivided.
They're a wreckage for us, nobody finds it.
We need simple truth, simply the emotions of every living person that's here.
Simply writing for proof, in this commotion of fear.
No matter the city, or wherever they shout.
Let it move loudly, let it all leave out.
Don't go proudly, leave it to drive them from doubt.
