21 Century Popular Philosophy: Part-2: Human Rat Trapped In A Sick Race Poem by Harindhar Reddy

“I Walk and talk; I teach and preach Words and famed manners”,
“Grunt and grumble; dribble and rumble” says blamed banners;
Once Mrs. Y made me Mulkraj Anand’s Untouchable – Baka!
Once Mr. X. passed jeering remarks when I took tea in the atoll...
Merely Hocus-pocus, mumbo-jumbo with no matter at all!
I am sick yet I like stylish Spanish football Tiki- taka!
No thump – thumping– thump of music yet I am sick!
Ow, ow, ow! And woe, woe, woe!
Larry, Harry, Tom and Jerry read the UNIVERSAL sad story!

Few weeks ago, I was a sky crapper and favorite wall paper,
I am crestfallen and became a tissue paper;
Hire or fire! I work for my mother’s food!
Come hell or high water! I survive for my father’s good,
Like it or hate it! I dwell for my livelihood...
For loaf of bread I came, yet, made a Muppet in falsehood!
I’m fed of rat race, yet I am in the sick race!
Larry, Harry, Tom and Jerry read the UNIVERSAL sad story!

All the world’s a stage, says Shakespeare...
And all the men and women merely players, here!
The entire world is a rattrap offering cheese...
Soon you and I are tempted to touch the bait with ease...
End as trapped like a rattrap peddler, says Selma Lagerlof with gloom!
I live; you live like a cat on hot bricks without any aim...
Boom, boom-boom, boom! Human race meets the doom!
Larry, Harry, Tom and Jerry read the UNIVERSAL sad story!

Life is disjointed, repetitious, and meaningless wicket
Yet a theatre of the absurd, says Samuel becket;
“Woo, woo, woo! Listen, human face!
But the world, say, it is a rat race...
Where only the strongest survive, Hello!
It's a dog-eat-dog world”, sings a fellow!
American Meshell Ndegeocello without a lie”
Larry, Harry, Tom and Jerry read the UNIVERSAL sad story!

Sings Shakira “Waka Waka”, this time for Africa,
With hilarity at High Mountain for FIFA world cup...
What a fun! Yet, pleasure becomes nine days wonder, yup!
All seas run in the end to ocean Antarctica...
But all humans bite the dust in the dusk, yet I
And they run the rat race without knowing why?
Hell and heaven, heaven and hell; lives end in a pell-mell!
Larry, Harry, Tom and Jerry read the UNIVERSAL sad story!

Just like every Tom, Dick and Harry!
If you win the race, you are still a rat”, Mary
Stuck in the rat race? So do, I! Sorry...
I’m trapped, you are trapped, and everyone is trapped in a worry!
In a trap we live - without knowing we enter and die...
Trap, trap, and trap! Laugh, laugh and laugh!
Hire and fire; fire and hire; life is a big satire!
Larry, Harry, Tom and Jerry read the UNIVERSAL sad story!
