The Compromise

Is it not true
what we do - or not do
we struggle the burden
to set to peace - the feuds?

All the ground gained
and lost - could blamed
on the compromise:
or certain shame?

Oh, when to give up a bit
or when to drown - with the ship.
When the debate
or when a tight lip?

Oh, all the quarrel - we rise
as our egos are tried;
but it is then we give - half
all for the sake of - compromise.
