Rat Races Poem by Muhammad Moneib

Rat Races



Taking the same old routes,
Tracking the same old traces,
Wearing the same old boots,
Facing the same old faces,
That I do bear no more.

Passing by every day,
Swirling the trap-like mazes,
Dazzling brain gone astray,
Counting repeated phases,
My everlasting bore.

Fleeing a truth so flat,
Dreaming of better places
Woken by fellow rats,
Racing in trifling races,
No rat had won before.
