The Road

Several roads ahead to choose,
                                Whispering to compromise,
                                 All appear lush and green,
                                  The snares are concealed.


                                    Good, enemy of the Best!
                                 Paths that offer quick success,
                                      Settling stifles hunger,
                                     Fasting grants sure wins.
