Downside of the Wheel: A Poem

Scott Bauer
A foot gets stuck

Shoe in the muck

Sinking in deep

With no time to leap

Scream and yell

Being sucked to hell

Desperate for escape

It's almost too late

Down to the chin

Surrounded by sin

Ooze, murk, and mire

Caused by want and desire

But wait, the gravity has stopped

But still only my head above the crop

One of stench and stink

The world, I shall no more think

For this is my demise for below

Entombed in this living sewage hole
