“The Simple Answer”

 
“The Simple Answer”

First there is a simple answer
yet many will not even listen
fewer still will ever even ask
this is the way of the world
to avoid the truth or revise it
seeking mysteries complex
deep explanations to confuse
but most simple don’t care
rather to play in the rip tide
surf the tsunami or worse
sky dive from the bridges
swimming with the sharks
ignoring the real questions
even more so the answers
wherefore it’ll get much worse
as evil controls non-fiction
while many really don’t care
thinking they’ve their answers!

Doctrine and Covenants 4:1 Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.
 2 Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.
 3 Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;
 4 For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
 5 And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work.
 6 Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence.
 Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen.
