I've Had Enough: Patrick Connors

 I’ve Had Enough

The world is on fire.

It is ready to explode.

A piece of it probably just blew up.

If we are silent while our brothers and sisters scream, 

then we are part of the problem.

I am tired of being responsible or somewhat 

to blame or even a semi-innocent bystander.

I am fed up with the well-rehearsed rhetoric of leaders who claim they want 

opportunity, safety and security for all people, 

but continue to support the way things are.

I am numbed by a world which can never have enough. Enough things, enough pain, 

enough destruction, enough conquest.

Enough of the desolate hunger of greed, enough of the misery of the vulnerable, 

enough of the primacy of systemic hatred.

Enough!
