Roller Coaster Ride

 The world's a roller coaster out of control
 Hang on for the  ride
 It's already taken its toll
 Some have already fallen over the side

 Most hang on for dear life
As we reach the  insanity drop
 As it descends, many forget about  strife
 People are screaming stop

 After the drop, it's time to ascend
 As up and down and round we go
 Is there sanity around the bend
When the ride ends, we'll know

I only went on a roller coaster once. Never again, though. Too dizzy. You captured the feeling so well.
