Life on the road.

In life we were all given a road.

The rich had the high road,

a picture of class,

the poor had the low road

and of course, there was

always the middle road.

From those the less unfortunate

were given a short road,

a no through road,

a road not sealed with a sign

merge into the background....disappear!

The rich had private roads, a cul de sac,

keep out, trespassers will be prosecuted.

But for most us  we were given a road,

a sealed road where some veered off

never to be seen again where

there was always talk of road kill,

while many got lost

on the highway of love.

As for me, I was given a track

and I'm still on track

even though the sign is blurred.
