Never Enough
Note: I was inspired by a news story I read recently to write this piece...
Why do I need
The edge of the cliff beneath my feet
Why can’t I be
Content with the sun on my face
Why must the sunflower
Burn brighter for me
Why do I need
More than one drink like everyone else
Because of this
The State can’t trust me to start my car
Because of this
I am caged like an animal
Because of this
A man I never knew
Beat me to death
For snoring
Because of this
My wife is a widow
My daughter, fatherless
Why couldn’t I
Get help when I knew it was a problem
Why for me
Was one never enough
And one thousand never too many
Why did I know
And still do nothing
