Adios Amigos! Poem by Dr John Celes

Enough is enough, man!
’Tis time, I drew the line;
My patience has run out;
I’m so fed-up with you.

How long should I bear up?
How much should I forgive?
How longer must my sufferings linger?
Should I be always at the receiving end?

I tried my best to keep our friendship;
I forgave you umpteen times;
You will not change your attitudes;
You cannot condescend!

Do I need such a friendship at all?
Do I need a selfish partner?
Must I forgive seven and seventy-seven times?
Must I show you my other cheek?

There are limits for everything;
You don’t care about others;
Life is just about adjusting with all;
Life is in co-existence!

You live the kind of life you want;
I’ve had enough with all your pranks;
’Tis time I thought about myself a bit;
Adios Amigos! Adieu, my friend!
Time's the healer but not for an adamant heart.
