A cog in the wheel, they whirl and spin, Naked to the absurdity, they lose within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the naked truth of the modern day, Humans yearn to break away. From the brick-laden walls, the wheels that turn, In the absurd dance, a desire to discern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naked in the rawness of life&#8217;s cruel jest, They seek meaning in the relentless quest. To break free from the wall, the wheel&#8217;s cruel spin, In the absurdity of life, a search begins.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the concrete jungle, where the towers stand tall, Humans scurry, another brick in the wall.
