RAT RACE

RAT RACE

Wired for the weird
Ignited for tiredness
We wake up to a new day
Set to run all day for the pay

Made to make
Made to break
Planting in hope
Harvesting on dangling ropes

Every day is a race to nowhere
Can only imagine but not see what’s ahead
How pitiful; the seed that prayed for rain
but for the rushing floods to carry it away

The necklace of uncertainty is set to suffocate
in a chase race
An investment in a future out of control
Have we an option to hitting the road?

A win is not always assured to the fastest
The evading ‘happily ever after’ ought to be reared
It is instinctual turning night into day
and having an eagle’s vision in this haze

Hello Anthony...

The rat race was the easiest solution to dangle a piece of cheese and watch all the fools run to it...

While they got a block of it in their pocket...

Only a few went for the pocket...

Who doesn't like some entertainment?

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...
