The

Rat RaceBy Titus Charo Kazungu

Page 2: The rat race: A Poem about Life

It’s a rat race

What a pace, for those in the chase

Chasing after the wind, no time to unwind

Is it a choice, with strange forces behind?

Are rats and mice of the same kind?

No race no rice

More race, more rice, no time to do the munch

It’s about the stomach, does it store much?

The race is unstoppable, till we are six feet under

We know we are capable, life is full of wonder

Page 3: The rat race: A Poem about Life

We race for now;

We race for future generations to come

Like a mirage at hand, it is a hope-filled life

The image of a sea we see, always disappears in sight

Voices of the sages, no sweat, no sweet

Wisdom of ages, only learnt in hindsight

We cannot race in cages; all must be freed to race

The battle rages, indeed for rodents in need

This can be fatal, we should not guess lest we fall

Let us labour with love, yet within the tall hedges

Page 4: The rat race: A Poem about Life

Is the race painful?

Labour is gainful, as it opens new pages of life

Rats bear much rodentiles, no stress no strife

This game is truly fair, let us pass the baton

We must change gears, as we strive in the journey

No retreat no surrender,

This is a race to win, for we compete with ourselves

Let us pose for a treat; rodents best are in the shelves

Rats rose with potency, with sheaves at the tape

This is a great race, of the rodents of the world
