Rings

Rings on fingers, nose, and toes
around our waists, wrists and ankles
such a fascination we have
round and round we go
digging the rut deeper and deeper
habits turned to obsession
still we can not stop
repeating our mistakes
again and again
wondering why
the world is so hard.

R epeating errors continues until we learn
I mpossible to change, you say
N ever seeing our folly
G etting lost in the circle of woe
