Dat's the Problem

isn't it so funny, how serious we take life
we have to put ourselves above the others
and we call this journey strife
truly all the pressure, comes to us from deep within
and if we were, worth our measure
we would cast away this sin

OK, I like this one and the way you just used Dat. It made it very "homey" Very down to earth advice at the end of it. I am guilty of taking things too seriously sometimes. when you think about it, many of us are so much more fortunate than the rest of the world living in terrible conditions, we should be overflowing with gratitude!!
