Someone said, "It's bed of thorns."
At times,  It's a bed of roses.
When it goes 24/7,
It becomes a school bus,
Turning same turns,
Taking same stops,
Loading same riders.
Some quote, "Love is life."
All said well.
I agree with all.
But for me, it's a Dog Race.
All are rushing behind the bones,
Scraps for the bones,
Barking at their own shadows,
And losing the bones.
Some are with long slurping tongues,
Licking others' feet.
Those who are naive,
Growl on fouls.
All those mercenary pursuits,
Nothing, but a dog race.
