Compromise
a wave cascades down a polluted sea
eroding a Virgin soil into an iota of dust.
piece by piece, bit by bit, into oblivion
goes the Integrity of the planet Earth.
in his palm, is a mound of Golden sand.
he laments at the weight of such a burden.
just a grain he compromises, turning his hand,
it goes slowly, until he espies rotted flesh.
an artist proclaims that he shall paint life,
his canvas is a wash of hues of gray
like his life, it is a fallacy of epistemology
because even gray, is but Black and White.
