Vicious Cycle

People and places faces and names,
the vicious cycle of endless mind games.
oh those who have lost their way
and found themselves on a playground where one pays 
before one plays
working day and night on deeds that can never be won 
earning the title of inevitably spun 
Always wanting more and more 
never knowing what they want it for ,
climbing and climbing roads that are rough 
Always wanting more and more but the road is too tough 
unaware of the riptides in the oceans they are sent 
landing rock bottom in the jungles of cement 
will they finally reach the ultimate high ?
when all they can do is lay down or die.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
