Enough

 

It is with slight trepidation

And a  newfound respect for myself that

I bubble up to the surface of the chaos in my brain

And back down to the slimy bottom dregs of poisonous thought.

It is there I find the raping of human souls

Vying for God only knows

For I wither and shake and wonder and break

Into my consciousness to ask

Why.

Why are we so hard on each other

Why are we lost in criticism and greed

Why are there disease, war and starvation issues in abundance

Are these issues not completely solvable?

Do we not have the greatest brain pool in history?

Enough, I say.

Open our eyes to enough love.

Open our hearts to enough peace.

We have enough.

We really do.
