A life in the jungle
A life of hustle
A life full of bundles
Of spiralling wavering bubbles
A life of pressure
A life of painful pleasure
A life of no leisure
A life of sorrow that cannot be measured
A life full of desires
Of what to acquire
A life that aspires
With no clue as to when it will expire
A life of lust
In spite of the cost
A life of dust
If it comes to worst
A life that seeks gain
But instead gains pain
A life full of thoughts that are vain
Hoping that one day fortune will rain
A life of supposed grace
Looming in the empty space
With a motion in an uncertain pace
And with nothing to show but shame to the face
A life-a candle lit
Deteriorating bit by bit
A life devoid of wit
Dancing obediently in the bottomless pit
I hope things will change Before I do something strange

A Life
Very good! This poem describes the 99% of people who struggle to get ahead and are met head-on with barriers that drive them to the edge and thankfully sanity keeps us this side of the edge.
