Stop It Now, She Said, Enough Is Enough Poem by Ravi Kopra

Stop It Now, She Said, Enough Is Enough



I am not ignorant, maybe not ignorant enough
Stop it now, she said, enough is enough

I love her so much, she knows it well
I complain: her love for me isn't enough

His wife left him. He drank all night. Swooned on the floor
Heart broken was he. Drowned in sorrows. Really sad enough

The monsoon came. Pitch dark all day. Lightening in skies
My cats got scared. Ran inside. Loud thunders were enough

So mean was my boss, the SOB as he is. I lost control
Threw my PC at him. Walked out of office. That was enough

My daughter came home late. I was angry at her. She seemed
not to care. I ordered her to keep shut. Her pouting was enough

He smokes in bed and goes to sleep and dreams of his love
The bed got fire. The room full of smoke. One cig was enough

Find another women, said my friend when my wife died in an accident
For Allah's sake never, I said. If alive she'd have killed me soon enough

I was always a failure in life no matter how hard I worked
Allah was angry at you, said the mullah. You did not pray enough

'Ravi' has now taken to poetry. Day and night he reads and writes poetry
Nobody reads his poems. He pisses readers off. He isn't smart enough.
