What Is This Life All About

As I sit I breathe deep, in and out I struggle to calm my mind Contemplating; what is this life all about? I like my life I love my family and friends Life is filled with opportunities I've learned a lot from the losses and the wins Yet there is something going on A feeling floating in the air I try talking about it It's not to provoke; it's because I care We tend to take this life for granted Yet there are victims all across this great land The irony of this problem Is we’re too quick to lend a “helping” hand We fear that our kids will suffer So we minimize the challenges modernity brings We rescue them too quickly They end up not learning a damn thing So, we attempt to ignore or erase The guilt and shame within our mind So we “help” again Entitling the weakest generation known to mankind We have lost our ability to discern Our emotions have completely got in our way We wonder how this happened Were completely blind to the road we have paved As I sit I breathe deep, in and out I struggle to calm my mind Contemplating; what is this life all about?
