RAT WHEEL

Rat Wheel ~ RER 

My rat wheel's  bearings 
are on fire .. 
Going nowhere for so long 
Legs faltering and tired 

wheel screaming 
all the day and the night 
 no getting off to rest 
Without giving up the fight 

The unseen road below 
an imaginary path 
Led by a carrot on a stick 
Sweet Reward to bitter wrath 

Hope to make my quota 
Twenty four hours in the day 
Though what I'm working for 
I can not even say 

So Scream on damned wheel of life
And take me where thy must 
But release  my soul  when the wheel no longer rolls 
And I lay like the rest in the dust
