Simple math would dictate it.
Blonde math would masticate it.
Loss of income would dictate it.
Higher taxes illustrate it.
No eye or dental underscores it.
Gynormous deductibles highlight it.
Sleeping late ignores it.
Unemployment lines can't fake it.
Bread lines predate it.
History repeats it.
Can we hack it?
It's inevitable.
Less is not more.
Less is still less.
I like to think it is just that.
A tit for a tat.
The karma that befits it.
The tables that turn.
The dizzy spell that has broken.
The new dawn that shows it.
The next gen that blows it.
Time and time again.
Let's begin to get it.
Before we grow blind to it.
Before we passively ignore it.
Before we are overtaken by it.
Before it's virulent tendons strangle it.
Before we completely miss it.
Before it's too late.
Above image: I Googled it.
Tick tock. Tick tock.
The clock ate it.
Time escalated it.
Let's not wait for it.
I updated it.

Poppi Iceland - Thank you. I couldn't agree more.
Fishgold - So true you are and I see a long period of time ahead where our children and grandchildren are going to pay the price of the "have mores" of our generation and the decades of politics as usual. Change is indeed happening; just not the hope and change we were expecting to effect our lives now.

When Less is less than fulfills your needs and you can remember when you had enough.... not so much!

Less is less.

Nice strings of words in this poem, Cathy, so true.
'More' too often is just missing the point.
