Enough is Enough

On Saturday evening I took part in the Jazz and
Poetry night that was hosted by the young
adults’ ministry of the church that I go to. I
recited one of my poems and the audience loved
it. The poem that I recited was titled ‘Enough is
enough’ and it went like this:

Enough is enough
I say
How long shall this be?
Slaves riding on horseback
Princes trading on foot

Enough is enough
I say
How much longer am I supposed to live this life?
Always a dollar short
Always a day behind

Enough is enough
I say
Now’s the time to put my act together
Walk tall
Lift my head high

Enough is enough
I say
Now’s the time to pull up my socks
Pursue my dreams
Live the life I want

Enough is enough!
Enough is enough!

Be Inspired.
