More or less…

A little more focus on developing the self

A little less worry about opinions off the shelf

So many impressions gathered along the way

A little less need to impress the human breed per se

 

A little more effort to learn more and more

A little less ego that abrases the core

So many pieces of information I have never known

A little more respect for intelligence home grown

 

A little more laughter despite day-to-day woes

A little less self-pity the bigger picture will amuse

So many upheavals in a slender existence

A little pinch of salt to combat any resistance

 

A little more optimism in a world full of injustices

A little less dependency on life’s hits and misses

So many choices and as many chances to salvage

A little more faith in one’s own ability to manage

 

A little more love for each and everything you do

A little less hatred for things outside and other than you

So many differences we can easily celebrate

A little more understanding in the air so that it reverberates

 

A little more contentment a little less complaint

A little more humbleness a little less vain

So many desires to justify so many habits to synchronize

A little more peace of mind will make you happy and wise

 

A little more commitment a little more truth

A little less prejudice a little less uncouth

So many paradigms to learn from and follow

A little more integrity a little less shallow

 

A little more appreciation for all that we are given

A little less arrogance for that is how we will be forgiven

So many bounties we must be thankful for

A little more reverence for the Giver a little more awe
