Analysis of Righteous paths do narrow
Walk along the highway
Stroll along in humble stride
Swallowed up into narrow
Of further truths within the right
Here you will find the truer ways
By roads signs and counsels
From all the passers-by
But, the road along the wrong side
Offended by every twist and turn
And everything within your sight
As paving paths expanding
Ambivalence grows broader to contrite
Too late to return around
Mislead upon a grassy knoll
Then lost, upon a road that's no longer
Standing among a cricket's cry
Nothing left here for more offense
Exits hidden away from further light
