Slave to the rat race,

Trapped in clapped out suburbs,
Unnerved by futile words,absurd,
Fighting,waging war,
On those next door,
Always wanting more,
Always keeping score.

Unattainable bliss,

Selling lies,

Makes you sit up and think.
Are we not all caught up in something that we don't really wish to be, without even realising most of the time ?

Once again you have drawn the reader deep into your mind. You never disappoint and this is a particularly thought provoking piece, and by the way, I wish I had written this! Well done.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
