Poem #264 Compromise


A compromise is a slippery slope,

for one indulged inhibition often leads to another,

a single rat creates a path

for its fellows to follow,

a little yeast multiples

till the entire loaf rises,

a whisper can cause a mountain to shiver

rocks and snow falling

on those unsuspecting down below.

Some actions can never be untaken

and some mistakes can never be undone.

Beware the compromise,

it is often not what it seems.
