Instead Poem by Juy Les

Instead



Two brothers, with a single life to live,
Had diverse philosophies they believed.
With his career in mind, one lived to work,
And spent all his days as a bitter clerk.
The other decided he worked to live,
And spent light to dawn in joyous festive.
And in the end, they both sighed, lamented,
The single life they thought they outsmarted.
Ah, what they knew deep down but left unsaid,
Oh, all the things they should have done instead.

I like this; it's short, sweet, straightforward and very fun to read. It puts regret in perspective and shows off what people often forget, that regret is commonplace.
