Less than Zero

  +++ Less than Zero +++
Less than zero
a height or temperature set
A state of total nothingness
Measurement to which soul's weight equates
The considerations taken for dwellers in Rio slums
When the developers move in with guns
Consideration granted by Japanese to whales
As in Southern Seas these giants harvested
All these items less than zero
Never finding a true hero
To defend the stated less than zero
For down so low nowhere to go
All acts are of total futility
Governments do not act on your behalf
Seen as a cockroach beneath society's feet
All despair hardship and death
Not acknowledged as a whole complete
Less than one less than zero
A total dimunation of worth or life
A feeling mutually unique
To every unrequited lover spurned by Cupid's deceit
A whole world board
Religions defined as unholy put to sword
Followers of one equated by another
As less than zero less than human
Such a bind when this value given
A value beneath any measure or worth
For less than zero
Is less than cared for
Less than zero
Is ignored abused exploited used
Less than zero
Hope you never ever stray or fall
Into that column outside the margins
Where all is bleak and worth not given
And never be the one who does
Bestow such status on world around
For lesser than those less than zero
Is those who judge such things as less than zero
Never realising anything whole
Idea or person or group or Nature
Must always equate to at least one
And to diminish their worth
Destroys completely your very own.
