"Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 - January 29, 1963) was an American poet. Known for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech, Frost frequently wrote about settings from rural life in New England in the early 20th century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.
Frequently honored during his lifetime, Frost is the only poet to receive four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. He became one of America's rare
"public literary figures, almost an artistic institution". Frost was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 and in 1961 was named poet laureate of Vermont. Randall Jarrell wrote: "Robert Frost, along with Stevens and Eliot, seems to me the greatest of the American poets of this century. Frost's virtues are extraordinary. No other living poet has written so well about the actions of ordinary men; his wonderful dramatic monologues or dramatic scenes come out of a knowledge of people that few poets have had, and they are written in a verse that uses, sometimes with absolute mastery, the rhythms of actual speech".
In his 1939 essay "The Figure a Poem Makes", Frost explains his poetics: "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader. For me the initial delight is in the surprise of remembering something I didn't know I knew... [Poetry] must be a revelation, or a series of revelations, for the poet as for the reader. For it to be that there must have been the greatest freedom of the material to move about in it and to establish relations in it regardless of time and space, previous relation, and everything but affinity."

The people lined up,
In endless masses;
Just like sheep,
Only wearing sunglasses.
They had to shield themselves,
From reality’s harsh glare;
They numbed themselves,
So they wouldn’t care.
They never stopped,
To look around;
As the system,
Ground them down.
No time left,
To ask a question;
Don’t look just leap,
That’s the intention.
It’s a long fall,
But it’s not the drop;
It doesn’t hurt,
Until that sudden stop.

A "mouse" was put at the top of a jar filled with grains.
He was so happy to find so much food around him that no longer he felt the need to run around searching for food and now he could happily live his life.
After a few days of enjoying the grains, he reached the bottom of the jar.
Now he was trapped and he couldn't get out of it.
He now has to solely depend upon someone to put grains in the same jar for him to survive.
He also may not get the grain of his choice and he cannot choose either.
Here are a few lessons to learn from this:
1) Short term pleasures can lead to long-term traps (living on benefits/furlough/ spoilt by parents perhaps?).
2) If things are coming easy and you are getting comfortable, you are getting trapped into dependency.
3) When you are not using your skills, you will lose more than your skills. You lose your CHOICES and FREEDOM.
4) Freedom does not come easy but can be lost very quickly.
NOTHING comes easily in life and if it comes easily, maybe it is not worth it. 
When you got a lot to say but being silent is the best option :

This rarely seen Banksy painting of a peace dove wearing a flak jacket - a more detailed version of the dove painted on the wall in Bethlehem - was due to be exhibited as part of the 2007 Santa's Ghetto pop-up exhibition in a disused chicken shop on Manger Square. Israeli customs officials decided to hold the painting at Tel Aviv airport prompting Banksy to say "I'm not sure whether that's because the painting is too dangerous to enter the country, or, because it matches their couch.
We're still not exactly sure of the reason.
