To walk on a thin wire,
Is what we all do.
The tightrope swerves
And curves
As we progress through.

Some people push others off
And some slip,
And fall,
Some even decided to jump
While all we can do is watch
And contemplate.

Then when we out stretch our arms
To keep ourselves stable,
We soon realize
that it makes it harder to stand
With the brand of time
Pressed against our backs.
