Some roads, broad and paved
Clean, ornamented and beautiful
Yet will I not pass through
Sumptuous and delicious a meal may seem
But tinged with a tiny poison I will take no touch
If the road to success will soil my fingers
A sharp detour will I take longer
If your triumph causes others to genuine sorrow
The route taken was wrong
So when it looks too easy, sweet and promising
Do well to read the caveat again.

Caveat emptor, Beware. Nicely penned. It is better to journey through the long tortuous road than the smooth short part. Thanks for sharing, deserving of a +10
