Rat Race Poems - Poems about 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...

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 By Michelle Morris 28/10/2022 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...

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! _______________________ Free verse |03.05.2022|...

7/11/21 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...

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 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...

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...

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...

Lab Rat Race - 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...

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......
