Enough

1 When do you know enough Is it on your death bed Or when you fall prey to illness Or when you lose your job 2 Where is enough While you are striving to win At the game of money making And neglecting your soul 3 What is the hunger that drives When in the end you cannot eat While your neighbour starves Under your watchful eye 4 Why does human wisdom Come to our door When it is too late To know enough is enough 5 Whence we thus resolve To make amends for the past And use the resources available To benefit mankind
