Do More Than Enough

The world keeps turning, still we drag our feet

Talking big, acting small, in the same old beat

We keep saying tomorrow but tomorrow comes fast

And our kids will ask why we stayed stuck in the past

They will face their own hills, that much is clear

But they should not inherit every burden left here

Some problems are ours to fix while we still can

So why do we hesitate, what is stopping our hands

Maybe it feels too heavy or too far away

Maybe we hope someone else will save the day

We should do more, more than enough

Stop pretending these choices are tough

If your needs are met then do not delay

Do not use excuses to look away

We should do more, for the ones who will follow

Clean up our path so their burden is hollow

There is still time, we can rewrite the story

Stand up today and protect their tomorrow

Some folks live day to day and survive as they go

We get that and honour the weight they know

But if comfort is your shield, that shield is thin

Do not hide behind it while the storms close in

Are we hoping AI will fix every strain

That some clever tech will sweep away the pain

Do people not care or just feel too small

When did we forget that we share one home after all

It is easy to feel powerless or stuck in a loop

But change starts with each in the smallest group

We should do more, more than enough

Stop pretending these choices are tough

If your needs are met then do not delay

Do not use excuses to look away

We should do more, for the ones who will follow

Clean up our path so their burden is hollow

There is still time, we can rewrite the story

Stand up today and protect their tomorrow

The long view is calling, stretching past our years

Beyond short cycles and manufactured fears

If we start now, piece by piece, hand in hand

We give them a future built on more than just sand

Hope is not naive when it fuels what we do

It grows into action when we carry it through

We should do more, more than enough

Lift our gaze and refuse to give up

If your needs are met then step into the light

Do what you can and do what is right

We should do more, for the ones who will follow

Turn rising dread into hope they can swallow

There is still time if we rise in our glory

Together we shape the long term story
