Conciliation is not capitulation, nor is compromise to be deemed equivalent to imbalanced concession.

0227 Soap Opera
The Hebrew language
has such sacred power
that you shouldn't sing it
in the bath or shower.
This compassionate concession:
you're still allowed to hum
any music that you fancy
while you're soaping your, er, tum.
Though some would say with Mendelssohn -
that a 'song without words'
is the bathroom equivalent
of a **** without ****s

All legislation, all government, all society is founded upon the principle of mutual concession, politeness, comity, courtesy; upon these everything is based...Let him who elevates himself above humanity, above its weaknesses, its infirmities, its wants, its necessities, say, if he pleases, I will never compromise; but let no one who is not above the frailties of our common nature disdain compromises.

The Earthly Bias....
you are
this man torn between
sky and sea
you belong to the earth
take note
pray
that the sky shall not blind you
neither the
sea to drown you
take the middle
compromise, compromise,
compromise
always have that
compromise
the earth is still the most
beautiful place
to live
give it the bias
that for the meantime
it deserves

The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

Man is an animal, but a social animal. Society for its manifold blessings asks in exchange sacrifice and compromise. Concession is the world's walking gait. Fevers and hallucinations sweep over us, it is true; but be they permitted to infect the public body, slaughter shall result. Government is either organized benevolence or organized madness; its peculiar magnitude permits no shading.

The Giddy(Catena Rondo)
When all compulsions swirl around
Born the Giddy by its stature
Frenzy is the Giddy's feature
When all compulsions swirl around
Born the Giddy by its stature
Menaced to menace imbalanced
All chores incomplete unbalanced
Born the Giddy by its stature
Menaced to menace imbalanced
A responsive dad unable
Inattentive pitiable
Menaced to menace imbalanced
A responsive dad unable
Amid all tantrum, conundrum
Menacing Giddy born there from
A responsive dad unable
Amid all tantrum, conundrum
Berserk goes the whole family
Spending, saving clash so badly
Amid all tantrum, conundrum
Berserk goes the whole family
When all compulsions swirl around
lost is free will and peace abound
Berserk goes the whole family
When all compulsions swirl around
Born the Giddy by its stature
Frenzy is the Giddy's feature
When all compulsions swirl around

Nicotine is both a stimulant and a depressant, so that can make one feel quite imbalanced.

i do not compromise
with what the government does
neither shall i deliver coffins
on a buy-one-take-one promotion
i do not compromise lives
i live inside a bottle sealed for years
what do you expect me to say
do i have to tell you that i still breathe?

The Battle Rages On
Been so many words so much to say
Words are not enough to keep the guns at bay
Some live in fear some do not
Some gamble everything on who gets the final shot
Oh dont talk to me of love
Its obvious its not enough
Annihilation kill them all
Capitulation watch the mighty fall
The road to glory is lined in red
And though the reason now is gone
The battle rages on
Was it love or hate that got here first
Hates a habit its hard to shake the curse
Kill to live and live to die
Human nature you let the strong survive
Oh dont talk to me of love
Be serious its not enough
Annihilation kill them all
Capitulation watch the mighty fall
The road to glory is lined in red
And trough the reason now is gone
The battle rages on

Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible but the world of pure reason knows no compromise, no practical limitations, no barrier to the creative activity.
