Amber Chafer Poet I do not know?

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.
