What's Better
A life to live in common garb
Or lofty threads with silken weave
A midas touch but forced to starve
Or homeless poet asked to leave

The blissful sleep of ignorant fool
Or knowing all a shameless mute
A humble slave when asked to rule
Or having song but lacking flute

For every strength contrasted least
Or not a chance the choice abort
To choose to fast instead of feast
And for your effort life cut short

Counter every impulse weak
Or weakness counting for the choice
Ornamental faucet sprouts a leak
While elsewhere drought has silenced voice

What's better?
Who even decides?
The champion sprinter
Runs and hides
