Too Much Yet Not Enough

Too Much Technology,
Yet not enough Ecology.
Too much Talking,
And not enough conversation.

Too much planning,
Yet not enough doing.
Too much planting,
And not enough food.

Too many cars,
Yet not enough people.
Too much production,
And not enough consumption.

Too low prices,
Yet not enough quality.
Too much competition,
And not enough co-operation.

Too much of everything,
Yet not enough of anything.
Too much dope,
And not enough hope.

Yet we have had enough reverses,
To know there are enough possibilities,
To negate the oversupply of Procrastinators,
While we still have enough faith in our innovators.
