Poem: Rat Race

it's hard to begin, to explain

- to put it simply

when, how and where it all started

but most of all why -------- ?

why have we became selfish mirrors

putting all the importance on ourselves

always running the rat race with no goal

our egos hungry for luxury and power

our eyes blind and closed shut

so easily led astray, somehow comfortable

with our living -- like in a TV set

allowing this machine to continue the massacre

how can we live so comfortably with it?

how can we still turn a blind eye?

when it could be you on the other side

as if it's not in our interest to live in peace together

when will we clear our minds and stand tall

prove that humanity still lingers in our hearts?

have we buried our true selves too deep?

have we learned nothing at all?
