Enough

I sit and wonder where the line 
is drawn when one say enough!,
And i could do nothing but 
laugh.
Excuse me, for my untimely 
sense of humour.
But Isn't there dignity in 
satisfaction? ,if not, where is the 
honour?

Our world consumed by supply 
and demand tactics.
Its no wonder we all warmed up 
drowning our guilt through 
statistics.  
We pretend to be so oblivious 
while our world is being blown 
to oblivion.

We dig so deep to find black 
and shiny rocks. 
We were hooked from the first 
excavation like drugs.
And now intoxicated with greed 
and lust.
We stumble upon each other 
like beasts

we sell our green mother at the 
highest prices.
For all the gadgets and inovative 
neccessities.
Yet like mother and child 
bonded by the cord we murder 
her quickly forgetting the 
symbiotic relationship.

Enough!, could  we ever have 
enough.?

Is it called covetousness, greed, lust - such emotions bring calamity on us all. Such wonderful insight with a unique way of giving the message!

A problem that could certainly have done with some addressing several million years ago. We could have been a lot better off.
