Greg Gaul Poet Couplet

On the Hamster Wheel

Always chasing the money, 
Seldom tasting the honey.
Worshipping the drone of work,
Makes me feel like a jerk.
Having no time to think.
How low can I sink?
Everyone else on the same wheel,
No longer know what I feel.
Is my life mostly undone?
Will I ever have any fun?
Cards stacked against me for real,
Let's reshuffle, start a new deal.

I very much like your conclusion - "let's reshuffle." Important message. Congratulations on your winning placement.

Your thoughts and writing are very much appreciated.
