he wondered, as the road unraveled  
how do you pick the one less traveled?  
the footprints on the beaten path  
seductive with their simple math  
offer the glimpse of a solution  
and so he reached a resolution  
and turned to where no foot had stepped  
no creature stumbled, wagon crept  
a highway flawless and pristine  
ready to see those sights, unseen  
that mark the difference of a life  
but all he saw was the same strife  
the road less traveled, it turns out  
end the same way, ends in a route  
and you discover, as you roam  
that all the roads still lead to Rome
