The High Road

the high road
is soon to be closed
as no one i know
uses it anymore

in desperate need
of daily repair
with no one out there 
who really cares

a once solid road
we all traveled on
now the shoulders are soft
the pavement long gone

and with the low road
so easy to take
if we don't read the signs
that point out our mistakes

we'll continue to travel
on the road that runs low
with the route we once took
soon to be closed

This is true and very clever, Mike. These days it seems like everybody is looking for a confrontation.
