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.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The menacing routine can transform any promising human being into a rat, racing in constant motion, without a chance to live his own life.
