Compromise Poem by Sivaprasad Parackal

Compromise

His was the saga of compromises
With the beasts and the creeks
Taming the wild and rearing the mild
Sowed he the seeds of the shrewd

Reconciling with life's odds
Gave he life to his fancies
With gentle caresses and warm hugs
Explored he the virgin woods

Mowing down the filthy instincts
Gained he the refined beast's tags
Sitting on the shoulder of consensus
Conquered he the lands and seas

His strategy of compromises continues
With striking vibrancies
Breasting the storms he strides
Along the corridors of times.
