Question

Finally I beg the question

As we strive along together

Name a goal that warrants our days

And that of generations forever

We consume ourselves with this or that

In the end frivolity

Happiness a selfish pursuit

A label born of jealousy

How does one find meaning

When all the world does fight

Day escaping like unseen winds

As fleeting as day and night

Still no answer as of yet

To justify our part

Perhaps we should instead look inward

To review the content of heart

Looking solely in the mirror

Weight, parsing, trying to see

If a value can be found

Or what we might could be

Finding in us simplicity

That could slow this wretched time

A cheek to kiss, a hand to hold

Could offer peace sublime

Yes to love, no matter belief

The only answer known

To give without expecting

That you yourself will own

Kindness and no judgment

Destroying egos along the way

Taking off youth’s blinders

Living fully every day
