Compromise when viewed as a generation schism.
Refracted through time, like light through a prism.

Life based waves of compromise, all time related.
With vitriol or joy, always chronologically activated.

Childlike bombasity, with no cultural reference point.
Youthful realisation that I’m not in charge of this joint.

Young adult rebuttal and rebellion against voracity.
Full adult yielding compliance, to further opportunity.

Aging adult crawls a path of least resistance.
Veteran, from the yoke of work, take up the last dance.

Death bed, cap now doffed, brings complete acquiesce.
Compromise levels, as a totem to age like reference.
