And so they said
it’s routine,
a kind of sausage machine
an automated, repetitive process.
This job, this path, this event, this love
nothing, but a game
This miniature world
Oh Lord, it’s all the same!
And so I called Neil
a piece of information to steal
What’s it like for you?
What’s your kind of stew?
What kind of job would you like?
Would you go there on a bike?
He’d do it all, he’s keen
except for being a sausage machine.
Day in, day out
the life of a scout
It all starts with good morn’
a coffee, a bagel
an event or two
a cigarette with a chick called Bernadette
And then, the night settles.
Existence is nothing, but
a sausage machine
with hundreds of pedals.
Trapped, in a relationship
that’s lapsed.
Kisses and touches
come as a must.
Passion used to go first
Now it’s all simulated,
disguised and mascaraded
in talks and grand gestures
of spicing up things
when all that’s left
it’s moving numb limbs.
“I love you”
meaningless words on repeat
a hamster in a spinning wheel
dancing on a sad beat.
Love your writing! Intriguing and poignant. Glad to find your blog.

Exactly what I thought and feel. Only those with courage and the willingness to sacrifice and try will get out. So many lies and wrong dreams forced by society and people. Awesome read🙏

Thanks for stopping by and reading! I am glad you enjoyed it. There are definitely a lot of people who acknowledge the hamster wheel we live in, praise them for realising it!

Hamster wheel or not (and I get that part) waning passion, as in sex drive, does not mean the end of love or deeper understanding.

I definitely did not want to say that, but there is a danger there of things becoming like that. It all depends on the perspective, communication and the way we regard the whole journey that life is.
