The Surplus

If everyone has a little,
Then nobody has enough. If
Everyone has enough, no one
Can have too much. Too many ifs.

Not enough. No one has enough,
Not even ones with too much,
Who insist as much all too much.

What shaped the first community
Where some with a lot of stuff watched
And guarded their stuff from others

Who didn’t have enough? Was it
Always or ever the case that
The numbers of those with too much
Were too small to give all enough?
