Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

All You Need Is Less

This world is full and aplenty
especially those living in west
so much that our pockets bulge
all you need is less!

So many elsewhere really poor
surely we can help to bless
don't be selfish think of others
all you need is less!

Consider all our daily benefits
nothing really to make one stress
food water home and friends
all you need is less!

Think of past centuries ago
when most had only one dress
are we any happier now?
all you need is less!

Think ahead to final earth day
when no time left to be agress
then opportunities will be no more
all you need is less!

(Agress: means aggressive.)

(Just a quote I came across recently considering  half of world having plenty and the other half being devastatingly poor and my conclusions and thoughts regarding it. )

Ovidiu Bocsa September 7, 2016 at 4:49 AM A realistic poem reminding us that at the base of pyramid of Masllow ,we also need the truth such as: told and shared in order to find solutions for the other needs. Education could change something but it is not enough. To change mentality, customs, habits, politics,prejudices, idols and ideals etc., seems a too far horizon for dreamers. Maybe sharing from our thoughts and feelings, from experience to experience, from soul to soul could bring in attention the real needs. Gordon Mcconnell September 7, 2016 at 4:53 AM thanks!
