"Life's too short so run naked."


Running.
Always fleeing.
From the problems they arouse.
Skipping along in life,
Not paying attention
to those not in the fast track.
Pretending they don't exist.
Existing only for pleasure.
Stepping on those in their way.
Dressing up to conform.
Conforming to step on those in your way.
Stepping on those in your way to exist.
Existing to pretend others don't exist.
Pretending they don't exist to be in the fast track.
Being in the fast track to not pay attention.
Not paying attention to skip along in life.
Skipping along in life to ignore the problems.
Ignoring the problems to flee.
Fleeing to run.
