Simple.

Why are you complicating yourself when you aren't
Why are you making things hard when it's just so simple
Why are you degrading yourself when you have the potentials
Why are you manipulating the words when it doesn't bring any harm
Why are you concluding the actions of others when you haven't know the truth
Why are you finding it tough and unapproachable when the grab is just in front of you

Why can't you read and take the words positively
Why can't you live like what the Words say you are
Why can't you put in more confidence and step out anew
Why can't you just live like the simple ones even if they are poor
Why can't you see the unseen and live for the future

For it is more blessed to live simply
More blessed to give than to receive
More blessed to serve than to be served
More blessed to stand for others than for ourselves.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
   for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are those who mourn,
   for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
   for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
   for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
   for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
   for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
   for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
   for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

The Beatitudes, Matthew 5:1-10
