The Wheel Of Life Poem by Kelvin Rush

Round and round and round we go
Does anyone ever really know
The wheel of life is always turning
Cold and bleak close to burning

The cul-de-sac of cause remains
Can't remove the smell and blood stains
Sick and tired won't stop thinking
Reliant on faith but gradually sinking

Hide the pain and the moral code
I'm suffering God and overload
My cunning mind craves existence
Full of anger rage resistance

My animal state is loving and playful
My human state confusing and painful
My ghostly state is callous and disgraceful
My inner state selfish and hateful

Release me from this ghastly wheel
For I have suffered too long I feel
I've been through hell so many times
I've paid for all my sins and crimes

Show me mercy and let me go
Or kill me now with one fatal blow
I've said goodbye to my endearing wife
I'm now getting off the wheel of life
