To the left, to the right,
tug, tug, tug.
Two directions fighting, and only one will emerge as the winner.
The game goes on,
but did you notice
on how weary the middle part of the rope gets?

Battered in battle
Are you sure that it’s made of strong stuff?
Are you sure that the game will end with the rope still intact and whole?
Are you sure that it won’t break?

I’m not too sure myself.
