A Deconstruction
Hoping against hope, I get me into making,
Molding matters patiently; lovingly shaking;
Sand, cement, coarse aggregate mixed into mortar,
Construct best of mansions, as global-supporter...!
Threats plenty, like axes on trees; I overcome,
Hopefully constructing ahead, challenges I numb;
Masterpiece gets artistic touch; in joy I leap,
Doesn't goal of life lie in tough-grown harvest reap?
Faith-deconstruction prettily carved, as a tale,
As destruction of Babel tower in which tongues fail;
Going against the divine edict that demands,
Creatures should not disobey creator's commands...!
I'd loved my lord; yet, my masterpiece had a fall,
I don't know the cause; might be heaven's caution call;
The debris pains me; hardest of labor turned dust,
Heart cleaves; eyes brim-fill; I feel a bit loss of trust...!
Kith and kin laugh; well-wishers call it cruel curse;
Friends fly far away like lambs leaving lines of lions;
Ashamed, as though absolutely stripped-off; I stand,
Fate frightens me extending his barbaric hand...!
I'm nothing; a man of god-head-made flesh-and-blood,
I don't go against God's law; I'm a flower-bud;
My deconstruction, I take, as God's discerned will,
That might be blessing-in-disguise; not deadly-ill...!
