What Is Enough?
what is enough
for modern generations
what will,
stop us feeling sick
cure our common cold
stop our fears
of becoming, ‘old’
we are working –
our way through life
grabbing,
as much as we can
it is a supermarket sweep
before they cart us off in the van
we pick things,
because,
happiness,
has never truly been explained
everything becomes a prescription
for niggling pain
self doubt, lack of confidence
they are long term
and with this obtained ingestion
that always burns
what is enough?
James Garratt – April 2014
