Disputed

Disputed


Remain among the living
Feed glory to the wispy trails
Of fresh salted tears
Though not to exaltation

To put on a pedestal
Lift on high
The very virtue of kindness
That greys even the brightest of souls

Give up, trudge on
Either way is the forked road
Greeting fate’s traveler as all
As all indeed are cursed to sin

And lie we may
Among harlots to the world
According to God’s say
Selling ourselves short
Faulted kingdoms to heaven

Dictatorship to he who sits
With soft hands as in home
 The same be of spirit
Of sane mind, by will
Yet wicked of functional force

Gales of extinction inevitably
Cleansing the retardation 
of over spun growth
until most truly all may
Remain among the living
