The Circle of Life

Living our lives in a circle,
The boring truth of our repetitive history,
constantly going round and round,
making the same mistakes again and again,
the same pointless achievements,
all forgotten in the race for the future,
just so it can all be done again,

yet still we carry on,
living our lives in a circle,
the repetitive history going round and round,
all the achievements forgotten,
as we race for the future,

until the point we fall from our selected line,
our circle in the path of life,
merely to be replaced by someone else,
so they can see the history,
the achievements,
the race,

while we from our new vantage point,
looking up from our fall,
so that it was pointless,
everyone following their own circles,
to make the history,
gain the achievements,
and finish the race.
