Odd City Of Regret

Time reconstructs strange sentinels of thought
from shifting colors of skeleton keys
though hope erases emptiness of truth
to highlight crazy concepts that remain
illuminated bright by dreamless words
that clutter pages of communal code.

Death reconstructs fraught boundaries of fear
caught by attention of impulsive minds
who reckon second coming of the rain
that still deregulates how we behave
yet we arrest our progress on the brink
of falling in abyss of everything.

Hope reconstructs odd city of regret
where calm mysterious girl of honest faith
sparks revolution against tyranny
that fractures shadow of democracy
with frantic spectacle of puerile fights
imploding from disturbed inequity.

Love reconstructs new paradigm of truth
to build sustainable rituals of life
through subtle challenge of the humble soul
who dares oppose traitorous greed of wealth
with willful waltz in Wonderland of Weird
to maintain national security.

Faith reconstructs republic of concern
through flash of extraordinary light
that beams from eyes of angels in blue jeans
who block abductions of innocent souls
before their shadows are locked in steel words
that shatter fearful walls of paradise.

Space reconstructs frail firmament of lust
through vast rotation of the gyroscope
that spirals wide on glass demonic wings
to prove that orbed organic lives of gods
still matter to our mortal hearts that ache
with hunger for transcendent dream of love.

Myth reconstructs misinformation math
to measure endless sea of social rage
stirred wild by storms of autocratic lies
which try to penetrate mask of respect
though mesmerized by beauty of weird truth
that shocks awake our consciousness of death.

Truth reconstructs tremendous trial of time
contained by subtle voice of ancient fact
which formulates expressive code of care
encased in doctrine misaligned by fear
when fragments of our horror dissipate
till I make puzzle of my new world view.
