Uphold
Lies are told, and men indignant, shine bold.
Their toll is strife, till their wife
and children eat them to the grave.
Petty tyrants; fake falsetto penance;
compete to grip, and they'll rip
the ideal till there's naught to save.
The death is nothing; bellies dropping,
mongrels stupefy and hide behind unsettling lies.
There is no far reaching sustenance.
The barrage, conditioned, prohibit
innocently, incognizant.
All who scream, in want to placate the dream,
they deem insane, but we, fain;
our tribe shall end present tension.
Skim and toss the impure, liquated dross;
clear the water; true and dear,
render this time for ascension.

Again, your diction is incredible. Interesting rhyme scheme. This really makes me think about the meaning. Excellent :)

Read all 12....wonderful vocabulary... What if causality is not the final word? What if we do not concern ourselves with the powers that be? What if the instructive synchronicity of our collection consciousness is us talking to ourselves through the riddle of being? Your questions are right on, Friend. Dogmas hide the truth, IMHO. Start without them as any standard. You are really saying some beautiful things. Broadcasting on 100,000 watts.

Hey runningturtle! -"What if the instructive synchronicity of our collection consciousness is us talking to ourselves through the riddle of being?"-
It's a mad dream isn't it? I'm not religious, ya know, but I like the whole mustard seed analogy, in a new world view: from something so small, our whole world (multiverse) was born, and we are merely sprouts on that tree; shades of that tree. The norse would call it Yggdrasil, born from Ginnungagap.
Thanks, man, I appreciate it, I really do! Thanks for reading and all.
Peace, bro,
from here to infinity and beyond! :D broadcasting 100,000 watts! I dig that, lol.

Like most of your work, a poem with a big scope...the human condition. You really let the words flow.
By the way, is Mjolnir Thor's hammer? I'm hazy on Norse myth.

Cheers, Hoodedpoet.
yeah, that's right, Thor's hammer; the crusher, also associated with lightning (of course).
Brokkr, a dwarf, and his brother Eitri, created a few items for the gods. Loki, the trickster god wanted to foil their plans coz he had bet his head they couldn't make items better than these other dwarves of Ivari(?). In the form of a fly Loki bit Brokkr's eyelid, making it bleed. This stopped him blowing the furnace and when Mjolnir was removed it had a one-handed grip; a short handle. Loki should have had his head cut off, but the tricky shit; you have to cut a neck to sever the head... which wasn't part of the deal.

Complex & very different rhyme scheme ...
A lil' too much so, for ME, as i'm a man of simplicity, however, there is much to appreciate & reflect upon within this verse ....
Interesting work ....
Keep on with the expression Mr. Hammer ...
Thor is my bwoy, so mjolnir is a very cool choice of name !!!
Bless....

Thor Odinson, wielder of Mjolnir, giant smasher!
Mr. Hammer, hehehe
I like that.
I could start each piece,
it's Hammer time! (uh, maybe not, but yeah) :P
For real. I appreciate the feed back.
