write a few simple lines

write a few simple lines
speak a few simple truths
that touch directly the heart
that my dear is your Art

no soul is an ordinary soul
no man is an ordinary man
try living with that in mind
not easy but see if you can

beware the slippery slopes
of pride and superficial lands
remember the emperors of yore

no heart is an ordinary heart
forget never these when you write
reaches all is what makes it true Art

write a few simple lines
speak a few simple truths...
