What is Hamster syndrome?

HAMSTER

I want to escape
but there is no escape.
This is it.

This is the price of freedom,
to be captured now.

All seems so pointless
and meaningless.
Here on this hamster wheel.

More stuff comes around
but it’s the same stuff.
Again and again.

If I can’t
get off the hamster wheel,
how can I move forward?

All is faith
and trust,
for there is nothing else.

So we go on,
round and round,
going nowhere on the wheel.

We are simply doing
what we should
to find the freedom we crave.
