Compromise Poem by Vidi Writes

Compromise

Rating: 4.9


Thousands of new ventures
Took birth with Expectations
Twisted to fit into self-images
Reflected - own perceptions.

Never compromising
No looking beyond
Want of absolute value
Is this the cause of impediments?

Thousands of failures
Fell on the combat zone
Swept away remnants
Reflected – protuberances

Whether to compromise
How much to look beyond
Extent of approximation acceptable
Will it bring ecstasy?

Compromise calls mutter
No Expiry Date Label
Itching causes abrasion
Where is the elation?

Pick possible over ideal
Essence of endurance as cover
Valor to swallow tears, Optimism the shower
Keep compromises at bay.

Compromise is business
Business is commercial
Ventures aimed at Trade Center?
Then go for compromises.

man when marches by the path as when destined into stream etenal across own time and space still we trudge in the path as often meanders into the wild ever yet not being befuudled by the reeks of shadow yet ephemeral time still tunes for a compromise to save the mirth of own minions but look into the path how it is crystal clear by the raves up ..............lovely poem, when life moves in a plexus of quest and queries as when all mortal no harm in compromising for the welbieng of the stance when requred by the life onto the finale, well penned,10/10, thanks for sharing
