Never Enough

one of my old scribblings….

The meaning of “what’s fair” has ended,
Now you don’t have any doubt
Cause what others take for granted…
You can only dream about.

Maybe it’s our human nature,
For it makes us all forget
That we’ll always wish for more
Always want what we can’t get

It is said we’re all the same,
That we all have the same rights
But it’s just a lie we claim,
It can get us through the nights

When we want something so bad,
That we make of it our goal…
In our striving we turn mad
And forget about our soul.

That’s why we linger on our hope,
Only delaying our fall
That’s when we realize it’s true
That we will never have it all.

So what we have it’s not enough
We always want a little more,
A little bit, maybe a half
Of what a lifetime we prayed for.

But sometimes we’re forced to see,
What we are wishing every day
Someone just mocks and makes it be
A worthless trash to throw away

And then we turn in angry people,
Driven by greed without our pride
We tear the soul of the old cripple
That long ago we locked inside.

And so we’re lost inside this race,
And if you ask, we can’t describe
What had us lose the only trace
Of what made worth all of our lives

For what it seems it’s not enough
We’re losing everything we care,
We let hate speak in our behalf
And so the sacred thing we tear.
