Compromise

Self-propulsion, kicking against the pricks,
Driving the prick further into the skin,
An ox yoked and burdened,
A master prods and demands,
Rebellion inflicts greater suffering,
A dog feasts upon its own vomit,
Beyond satisfaction, satiated by filth,
That of its own doing is wretchedly consumed,
Lesser than Intent, lesser than deserved.
