Minimalism

The more I can have, the more I see, 
The less I really need,
The less I want around my house and 
The less I want to read,

About how much that I should have, 
How much that I should buy,
With all the cash that I have earnt, 
Instead I question why,

Not have a house that’s free of clutter, 
Free of stuff that chokes,
Free of big large furnishings, 
Hoarded in other folks,

Houses in suburbs where they are,
Chained to the spending wheel,
Instead, I can live in a space that’s free,
Where I can breathe and think and feel.
