Ropes

It's a sad world, we live in
when we are, barely breathing
look at all, the people
where are, they going
some have homes
and, some they roam
why does everybody, want to
touch the sky, when they know
what blue feels like
I know what, it's like
to be, blue and black
life is like, double dutch
you got to get in there
don't miss a beat
continue to move your feet
like a ping pong ball
moving back and forth, swiftly
stay focused, and vigilant
like an alchemist
on a journey 
we are all just running
and running out of time
