Analysis of Less



Less is what we are giving,
Less makes less of what is living,
Less love,
Less time for us,
Less patience,
Less of trust.
Less belief in our love,
Less belief in the Lord above.
Less to strive for,
Less to lose,
All leads to more to abuse.
More of anger and dirty looks,
More burying myself within my books.
More time spent angry,
More tears are spilt,
More feelings of fear,
More feelings of guilt.
We should stop thinking it won't matter,
And try less for the latter,
Giving more of what's above,
Leaving us with less of hate,
and much more to love.
