Just One

I know it's the substance that really counts, but we're into
number 
we judge by amount. I know it the good, not just the plenty and
with 
all our abundance we end up empty. 

We deserve cake but we've settled for crumbs, 
but I know one is better than a 1000?

Taught how to purchase we consume by the pound but open us up 
there's not much to be found.
It could simply imbibe a one sentence 
of truth it's outweigh all the shit we drank up in our youth.
