Explanation:

This poem, "The Road Not Taken," was written by Robert Frost (1916).  The road represents the life choices that human beings make on issues that affect them at each moment.  While some people are keen to travel on the often-traveled paths, others choose some other pathways less frequented by many and succeed by so doing.  The poem encourages individual adventurism while denouncing a "follow-follow" mentality.
