Too Much Too Many Poem by Sonya Florentino

Too many people
Not enough trees
Too many impotent
Bureaucracies

Too much food
But not for everybody
Too many still
Starving and hungry

Too many landfills
And mountains to bury
Too much waste
For our earth to carry

Too many TVs DVDs
CDs cellphones
Laptop computers
But not enough homes

Too many toys and
Clothes and things
Too much too many of
Everything

Too much work
Not enough time
Two weeks vacation
What about Life?

Too much credit
Too much debt
Spending money
We haven't earned yet

Too much problems
Too much stress
Mental states and
Bank accounts in distress

Too many people
Sick and dying
Companies profiting
from health and medicine

Too many guns
Lying around
Too many lives
In seconds gone

Too many prisons
Too much drugs
Too many young people
Entering rehab

Too many girls
Becoming moms
When they don't even know
What they want to become

Too many churches
Too many gods
Too many 'holy men'
But where is Love?

Too many soldiers
Too many wars
Too many lives lost
And, what for?

Too many cars
Not enough trees
Soon there'll be no more
Air to breathe

Too many buildings
Climbing too high
Soon there'll be
No more sky
