The Less Is More Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Less is more for those fed up with the more.
Less is more for those wise enough to know.
Overwhelmed with overdose of something,
You can minimize it to find happiness.

Simplicity scores over complexity.
Brevity scores over elaboration.
Less makeup scores over heavy makeup.
Modesty stands from glamorous posture.

Having handled many cell phones for sometime,
If you switch over to one, or after
Managing many stores if you have one,
You can discover the missing happiness.

Too much possession makes unhappiness.
The more you possess the more you’re possessed.
Anything in overdose is boredom.
Happiness, not possession, must matter.

From the overindulgence has come
The way to denial for many stalwarts.
Thus Emperor Asoka denounced war.
Get wisdom before such indulgence.
