Just Skip Ahead

War is won by the simplest of things,
As if suddenly saved on an angel's wings.
That's not to say that divine intervention,
Is just a simple or common convention.

What I mean to say is that
Even in the dark face of combat,
the simplest of actions can turn tides,
the smallest try can make great strides.

But this isn't war I'm talking about
No that was just an example I thought I'd toss out.
Plenty of things get over complex,
Caught up in trying to plan on what's next.

We end up rambling in strange analogies,
That just create our own false fallacies,
When just a quick phrase or act,
Said or done with the simplest of tact,
Can end up working vast wonders,
Unlike wise men's rambling blunders.

Too often more is done in a single phrase,
Than in convoluted speeches that put men in graves,
As the stand waiting for what is meant to be said,
If only they, like you, could have just skipped ahead,
To the final point of a long diatribe,
To the simple message it tried to describe:

What's best is done by the smallest of favors;
Plus they end up being great time-savers.
