ENGLISH POEM-5 COMPROMISE !

COMPROMISE

One ‘August’ evening,

Amongst –

Ladies and gentlemen,

Of –

A great esteem;

I –

Set at auction;

My –

Soul and dreams.

Eye brows got raised,

Vibrating –

Love and hate;

Resonating –

Deliberation and haste;

Shaking –

Frames above waist,

They added –

Only confusion to my mental state.

Some called their bid,

With –

Offers so insipid;

Others –

Merely talked hybrid;

Some-

Of the cost cribbed;

Faulting –

My make and build.

As a motion less hill,

With –

Only isolation and chill,

With –

Self generated frills,

I –

Thought of the principles,

My –

Mind possessed still.

Rigid in emotions,

With –

Cries of value –erosion,

I –

Created a commotion,

Halting –

An old man’s motion,

Who –

Prescribed me a lotion.

‘Compromise in life’

He shot –

“Between ‘truth and lies’,

Amongst –

‘Sects and tribes’

Between –

Husband and wife

Brings –

End to all strife”.

Caring his advice,

Shedding –

All emotional disguise,

With –

Lowering of price,

Once more –

I threw the dice,

And

My boss got enticed.

Faces grew pale,

Amidst –

An emotional gale,

With

Cries, sobs and wails,

But –

The deal I hailed,

As –

‘Reality’ over ‘Idealism’ prevailed.
