The Rat Race

The world has a belief new found That if you put on mask of perfection All those people around Will gift you with appreceation No more the true persona counts As long as you can act The way situation wants You can keep your respect intact All you need to do is flash a smile Even when you fell like shedding tears It might seem difficult for a while But it will become a habbit in few years Just nod in aggrement To pretend you know it all World will praise your intellect And your progress will never stall If a colleague of your's goes wrong Never ever try to correct him Because to the same game you belong And he'll have to lose for you to win This is the rat race the world is running Without the slightest idea that No matter losing or winning Ultimately rats will be rats So if find a rat overtaking Just catch it by its tail Why waste energy in running When so easily to destination,you can sail
