enough of noise

ah,
enough of the death
that keeps coming

enough of the sad
so needs crying

enough of the young
that keeps dying

so that we be able to keep on a-feeling


enough of systems,
that keeps failing

enough of faith,
that keeps waning,

enough of love
constantly thinning,

it's ok to fall if we keep on a-living


enough of urs
problems and whining,

enough of urs
daring and doing

enough of urs
scolding and fighting,

it’s my noise I want to be hearing.


Enough of god,
living and warning

Enough of messiahs
helping and healing,

Enough of followers
proving and promising

it’s okie to be living to one day be dying.
