The Rat-Traps

The Rat-Race.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Caught in a rat-trap, 

Rats participate in rat-race.

The cut-throat competition,

To survive and to prosper,

Play, hope to win,

All put up indeed,

A wonderful great show.

There is the end for a few,

But only the others would know,

And they are soon forgotten. 

The rest keep on playing,

Till dead and rotten.

Punching a volley,

Here and There,

Intellectual folly,

Senseless wholly,

Goes thus the trolley.

Question begets another, 

But never an answer, 

Endless repetitions,

Do rein in over the show.
