Competing To Compensate


Eyes compete to compensate beauty, 
Beyond pleasure of reasonable duty. 

Money competes to compensate value, 
Before time sets another price anew... 

Pen competes to compensate book... 
Above muse running minds unhook. 

Eraser competes to compensate error, 
Against stake of  consequence's terror. 

Mind competes to compensate brain, 
Holding unto wisdom for huge gain. 

Thinking competes to compensate judgement, 
Having checked through for proper assessment. 

Voice competes to compensate ears, 
To be calm of sweet words foaming cheers! 

Tongue competes to compensate understanding, 
Towards convincing points so outstanding. 

Seat competes to compensate buttocks, 
Cum comfort not necessarily quite deluxe. 
 
Bed competes to compensate spinal cord, 
Care sets free unlike one in the hospital's ward.

Women compete to compensate survival,
Vigilant enough of approaching rival.

Men compete to compensate growth,
Virtually for both also marriage's oath. 

Competition drives value-
To compensate focus guide
And fight forces turning tide,
Against what desires pursue...
