Less Is More
If you don’t want much…
Than a little is a lot
Possessions can own you
Heart and soul
To most they’re a crutch
Needed likely as not
Yet are just another onus upon you
And they play a greedy role
For the more you want
The more you need
Pride a predacious creature
And once takes root
It becomes…a pernicious
Insistent preacher
Less is more…
It’s carefree life
In many ways…
Devoid of strife
More oft than not
So if you want for less
Tis more truth than guess
That a little…Is a lot…
