Off To the Rat Race!

Laying there just beyond my touch,
The envy of my eye,
A world in despair.
All plump and juicy,
Full of any mans desire.

A many of a souls hand in
with a stake,
Most of which pulled
from another’s place.

It’s a world confused,
blinded by greed.

If played by the rules
You Could be left behind.
You will have made a dime,
By creating a crime.

Torn between the two,
We are all confined.
If any were to jump
to a rat race,
a little or even
a lap behind,
There his life would be stuck the entire time.
