It is Not Enough!

Are you using your brain right?

---

It is not enough 

If is not enough
To sit inside the house 
And admire the stars and the moon from the window 
You’ve got to get out in the cold
And appreciate everything 
God has provided us in the form of nature 

It is not enough to just decide to vote because you turned 18 finally 
You have got to do your research as to which party is the better of two evils 
And then decide if you are going to vote for them or not 
And finally vote if you made the decision to do so
Just thinking I’ll vote or not vote isn’t enough
See how many innocent people are suffering getting dragged onto the streets ? 
What wrong did they do to deserve this?
Trust in you to do your research while you decided to vote Republican simply because 
the girls at your high school decided to vote democrat?
How fair is that? 
Would it be ok if your mother were that person who was being dragged down that street 
by the immigration and customs official ?

It is not enough to read extensively 
Or have an awesome job as an executive
What you are doing on a day to day basis is important
How you are spending your time and your life all matter very much 
Yesterday she was alive 
She was only 52 
She had just had a benign blob show up
She had been operated and the blob had been surgically removed also
Another surgery to remove the infection that had spread to the nearby parts of the body has also been done 
Then came her daughter's marriage 
She had decided she’d wait it out until it got over 
But she waited a bit too long 
And just like that 
Poof! She’s gone! Passed on! 
Whose fault is it?
Her’s? Her husband’s? Her daughter’s? Whose fault is it that now after going door to door 
to invite friends and family for the wedding 
After celebrating a grand ceremony with all people 
who had come and blessed the young couple 
That now their mother is no more? 
Were the surgeries not done in time to remove the complications? 
Then how did the sepsis happen?
At only 52 years old?
Who will replace her absence?
Will it be enough?

Hold onto your loved ones
Do the right thing 
Don’t harm another person 
Try to be right only in God’s sight 
Then perhaps in would be enough 
Perhaps that will give us hope for a future

Don’t take your privileges too loosely 
Every privilege is a responsibility 
Please take care of yourself 
Your family 
And your neighbor down the street 
Then perhaps you will be blessed 
With a future for yourself and your kids 
There is no use repenting at leisure 
It won’t be enough then 

Think about this 
Peace ✌🏽
