We Have Enough

We have enough: to clothe the naked.
We have enough: to pillow every head.

We have enough: to fill every stomach
but fill ours twice as much, instead.

We have enough: no father should worry.
We have enough: no mother mourn.

We have enough: no one should have to steal
to feed another mouth just born.

We have enough: no drink should kill
We have enough: no meal should wait.

We have enough: to throw away at night,
that others are thankful to take.

We have enough: of all we need
and more of what we want.

We have enough: to keep us entertained,
to help forget the faces that haunt.

We have enough: thank God above.
We have enough of everything...

...everything but love.
