Haste pick up your pace,
devour fast food for a taste,
trip over shoelace,
try not to make a mistake,
in our labyrinth rat race.

On what do we run in this silly rat race?
Oils we suck and pills for our face.
Fossils for fumes and poisons for potions,
We brew for our brains, which we spill in the oceans....

Hide and Seek
A dilemma we are forced to face
I may say, by Mr. Corona's grace
wants us to play hide and seek
Yet it's more wealth we bespeak
It seems so hard to shun the rat race.

After the Breakdown On Rat Race Road
Use at your own risk!
Recommend durable tires
and a durable psychology.
I know, I know, I know
that I can't live
through it again.
That's why I'm walking,
watching my feet
in my red-rubber shoes....

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!

But there really is something more than just nine to five....
