Is Less More?

Paraphrasing Yngwie Malmsteen…

You tell me something
that you perceive to be true
in good faith
for it is obvious to you
that I don't know
"Less" you say, "is more"

But how can less be more?
What form
of alien math
do you practice
to make this calculation?

For it makes no sense.
Only more is more, you fool
and one plus that
must always be
one more.

If less was more
A farmer might plant less seed
and grow more crops next season
or perhaps the heat of the fire
would be less
by adding more coals

So less can never be more
Unless by less
you mean to add
another special ingredient
which was not there before
In which case,
it's still more.

If less was more
A fisherman
might put less bait on a hook,
and expect to catch more fish
or maybe then he could just
throw away the fishing line altogether
and catch more fish
with his bare hands.
Then again, why even have hands?
He'll catch more fish if you chop his hands off.
But why then keep his arms? and so on.
So you see, eventually you are left
without even a person!

This philosophy
can only lead to nothing
And we all know, of course
that there is something,
even if we're unsure
of exactly what that is.

So less, can never be more
Only more is more
How can less by fucking more? you idiots.
