Merry-Go-Round

Life is a merry-go-round
The playground goes around
Those who must go, leave
To wash their hands

Under sandle the sand lifts
And falls under the feet of
Those who move the wheel
Faster we go…

When the pushers get tired
And the wheel spins free
Euphoria overcomes us
Liberated like birds in an updraft

I look back now…
The world is our
Merry-go-round
Throwing sand in our eyes

The longer we stare into the,
Blur of the playground
The more questions
We are left to answer.

Ignorance is bliss they say
And the merry-go-round agrees
The blur is made of people
But too many make us sick

So I go around, the
Questions keep coming,
And we never stop spinning.
Until we all puke, and start again.
