The Rat Race

The world has a belief new found

That if you put on mask of perfection

All those people around

Will gift you with appreciation

No more the true persona counts

As long as you can act

The way situation wants

You can keep your respect intact

All you need to do is flash a smile

Even when you feel like shedding tears

It might seem difficult for a while

But it will become a habit in few years

Just nod in agreement

To pretend you know it all

World will praise your intellect

And your progress will never stall

If a colleague of your's goes wrong

Never ever try to correct him

Because to the same game you belong

And he'll have to lose for you to win

This is the rat race the world is running

Without the slightest idea that

No matter losing or winning

Ultimately rats will be rats

So if you find a rat overtaking

Just catch it by its tail

Why waste energy in running

When so easily to destination, you can sail

Change the way you live, before there is no life left to live.

We have two lives, the second one starts when you realise its only one.
