Just Enough

Metaphysical representing what we have become

    There could have been more

   But there was less to store
It could have been much
But no retinue called for such
It was never enough
B'cus it was never theirs to plough

Then the wind rumbled on
And hunger sang in the sun
Once full stomachs ran dry
Once dry eyes begun to cry
It was never enough
B'cus it was never theirs to plough

Just enough Chukwu seemed never to bring
Though men's bending backs begun to cring
The little ones cried for more
Even with their parents tired sore
They drained it all
And bought their fall
It was never enough
B'cus it was never theirs to plough



Chukwu means God in Igbo tribal language

In a sad moment this represents a lot of what is happening
