Rat Race Poems - Poems about Rat Race

Rat Race

Get out of the race, you can’t control the pace. You’re trying too hard 

to finish first in a competition that has no composition. Forget

what has been programmed to stay, it is no longer the day. Feel relief 

as you let go and pull back, move away from the attack. Smile and 

watch what happens

The Rat Race

I ran the rat race 

Tried to keep a steady pace 

But fell on my face

Monday Motivation

Friday is really Monday
But for Earth's sake, let's talk Monday
The day after Sunday
We all know, that one day

That stereotypically they dread
It's truly all in one's head
I adjusted so I'd want to get outta bed
Made Sunday set the tone & Monday move slow-mo Instead

But if you're in the race of rats
And today marks the day you're

Get Out of the Rat Race Maze

Get out of the rat race maze

There are so many jobs
Where you can lose your soul
They can make your burn too hot
Or make you turn icy cold

Like hell or purgatory
Stuck in grinding thoughts
You're a hamster on a wheel
A rat in a race that's bought

It can be challenging to deal
With the lack of integrity
Humanity

One More Face In Rat Race

Not knowing why 
We still join rat race,
In wanderlust 
We add one more face,
Post many births 
Gained we’d a good house,
Left it foul oh 
With our wicked grace!

Rat Race

Never been the smoothest talker
Got to make the best of it before I need a walker
Had a lot or nothing to offer
Wasn't always worth the bother
4 days a week I work with and help doctors
Occasionally seeing Boxers

She got some knockers
Too many peeps are squawkers
I'm flying sky high inside a saucer
Above waters
With otters

Never been an imposter
Thought

The Rat Race

In his mind he makes his plans
  So many things he'll do
To finish each and every one
  He'd surely need four hands

He starts his day, but right away
  He senses he's in trouble
Yet instead of scaling back a bit
  His maniacal pace is redoubled

By noon he's gassed and at wit's end

Feather

Life has it's moments
You know, good and the bad
But some of the best times I've ever had
Are those when I've stopped
At the side of the race
And taken a breath
Felt the sun on my face. 

For the people that rush,
And yes there are plenty,
Are the fools being chased by a life that is empty 
To

The Waiting Room

The tickling watches, the shaking legs,
Minds full with silent cries and begs
Hearts are homes
Where the oil is ceaseless impatience,
And neighbours – the anxious ancestors.

The dreams, the love, the perfection,
All blur.
The waiting, waiting and waiting,
In this bewildering times they all were!

It’s a road not unique,
It’s a road they all walk,
The roads with the same lock.
In the

The Old Rat Race

They don't call it the old rat race
  
   ~ on account of its furious pace

Rat Race

Drifting alive, waves of human tide,
money and power slaves nine to five 
project deadlines nauseate in stress 
endless chase, mortgages magnified.

Vacillating minds, weary woes abide
big cars whiff smoke on sullen faces. 
insidious pressure, to be  a 'someone'
mad huff and puff, passion slowly died.

Fake hierarchy walls , anonymous pride
unreachable goals, on invisible horizon
Don't know who

Rat Race

You follow the rat races,
Climbing ladders that never end,
Surrounded by faces,
But not one you could call friend,

You stare hungrily at your reflection, 
Picking apart your every inch,
Believing beauty leads to connection,
But would it save you in a pinch? 

You spend like there's no tomorrow,
Yet for the poor you've naught to spare,
But if it became your

Well it’s a hard pill to swallow
that we aren’t promised tomorrow;
but the rent is still due today. 
Sure, you’re losing your mind
but you still made it to work on time;
That’s just the nature of the rat race. 
Corporate Boss treats you
like you’re nothing but mere profit.
Remind him of your name, 
I

Keep Pace, Rat Race

Coupes skimming fly, gently humming of engines and tires.
Listen closer, and hum turns to cheetah’s roar, pushing for
A harder pace, an impact-- No achievement is frictionless.
Jaguars leap and bound, a mile-a-minute, sometimes more.
The roads are not sky but earthy jungle, fighting for the fittest.

Who craves Icarus
Shall fall once more to Earth
For what goes up, must...

and years
i've been
running
this tread

if i knew
i was in a
race just to
produce 
electricity for
you

i would have
hooked the
battery to
my brain
and have
run

myself
insane
with volts
of bolts of

therapy
but instead
i ran and
then
one
day

hopped
off and
let you
instead
become
