When Is Enough, Ever Enough

We know you have this time, it's never enough. When all you have is demands, there's never time for anything else. Every second there is a need. Every minute there is a death. Every hour a smile goes sour. Every day time just ticks away. We don't notice it We're to busy living in the moment. Alarm clocks go off every hour of the day everyday Cars fly down streets trying to beat the clock, to be on time Phones ring nonstop with unanswered questions and people too irritated to answer when asked. Anger rises when things don't go our way, That's how it is during this day and age. Take a step back Look at everything, from black to white. A time stood still A time less advanced. A time when money and greed weren't important. Look back to when family's had time for each other. Look back to when holidays were a time to reunite. So blinded by the needs and wants of the now, forgetting the attention of those needing our love and affection. Every second happiness turns to anger over a minor thing. Every minute a need is unfulfilled from the lack of knowledge. Every hour someone is forgotten, alone, scared. Every day wastes between rush and greed, the wants and needs. Every month a family falls apart because they don't pay attention to those who need them most. Every year, time is just never enough.
