Life Is A Rat Race.

The truth is:

Life is a rat race

And you're a rat.

What did you expect?

Will every rat will get the cheese, who is the provider, if Almighty yes of course, if humans it depends, how big is the cheese any how, even if cheese is big, will every rat will get a piece, some rat may die on the race itself, as race can deplete their energy and rushing and overcrowding may even kill them, this can be related to food scarcity humans facing now, so we need to preserve the resources so that each one may get their share, what about world hunger, the real issue, so do not waste food, thought provoking poem

Wow. All that from so little? Thanks, Linda.

[Linda alexander]

You welcome, my pleasure

I expect a winner in any race. Very race from Horse track to Rat, has a winner and a lucky man with the right bet.

[Shaquana Adams]

Simple, honest, and impacting. My type of poetry. Great job! :)

[Diana]

Thanks again, Shaquana.

If you're lucky, you're a rat that gets the cheese - but a rat is still a rat...

[Diana]

No escaping the "fatness" of it... Rita, thanks for stopping by.

[Diana]

That should say "ratness." Whoops.

[Rita L. Sev]

*LOL! Sometimes, there's no escaping the "fatness" either... :)

[Frieda P]

I don't know I'm a sucker for a happy ending, this wasn't it...ha, tell it like it is Diana.

[Diana]

Hah hah. Definitely not, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Sometimes it's good to just get smacked over the head with reality....ha

I love this analogy. A powerful write. Now I'm looking for a cat race...:).......

[Diana]

Cat and mouse, maybe? That would be a good analogy. You have me thinking...imagine that? :)

[Sami Khalil]

Hahaha. I did that intentionally to catch you offguard. You are most welcome...:).................

at least a big block of cheese to make me die happy from exhaustion...

as i'm reading this i am trying to keep my feet from moving...but i am running place...

and no one likes a rat...unless it is scurrying away.

cool write.

[Diana]

Thank you, Jacob. A big block of cheese. Everyone wants "their" reward.

[Diana]

I think life is a rat race has been said before. I guess you and I just filled in the pieces.

[0000000000000000000000000000]

Lol:) so you stand on the wall as well?

[Diana]

No wall. More of a maze.

[0000000000000000000000000000]

no you cant be apart of that now lol! the maze is for rats , Diana your too fearing too be apart of the maze effect

[0000000000000000000000000000]

Listen to me for a second, as you heard me say- I looked at life in its bounds and leaps, the unfolding to the sorrows of weeps, I stood on a tall wall looking down seeing the cars race towards town, I heard their gestures saw their I'm number one, But I couldn't be apart of that race begun, I stood their many times in a balance of it all, watching them run , watching them fall, I stood so much I had to set , I begin to pray, felt its not too late. Diana the rat race is a wild place caught between the catch 22 I am in the world caught up in the world but yet how do I find my way. Its simple you go in a higher place where you can see:)

I expected less hurt. More food left over from experimental dinners. A good plague to banter about.
Warm places to hide. Sewers unchoked by pcb's and toxins. Uncluttered atticks to invade.
Less lab. experimentation. More cruise ships to invade. More pants legs to run up. More lovable
cartoon characters.........Now stop me if I'm expecting too much, lol
