Getting Nowhere Fast Poem by Kelvin Rush

Rushing round and round like a mouse on a wheel
The treadmill of life so confusing and surreal
The never ending drama the toil and stress
The pain and the illness the people we detest

All the family rows and repetitive thoughts
All the pointless vows and the useless boughts
Filling in the days with meaningless tasks
Rotting in the maze whilst living in the past

Protecting your possessions is such a pointless game
All your confessions are beginning to sound the same
The fake and false illusions tampered with and cursed
All the wasted years that can never be reversed

You're always looking forward planning for tomorrow
Happiness never sticks around can't contain the sorrow
Following the main stream news reading endless books
Wondering why we're all aligned with idiots and crooks

You decide to join the left but nothing seems to change
You're clueless lost bereft feeling rather strange
A chronic set of views that no one can understand
As more confusion looms you feed the upper hand

You look around for guidance but nothing makes sense
All you find is violence no redress or recompense
You even turn to God in a desperate final call
You hit a dead end once again and jump before you fall

You come to the sane conclusion
That nothing in life will last
You no longer question the oppression or guilt
We're all getting nowhere fast
