Expansion Certified By Gods

Fences erected between lonely homes,
with good intentions of loyal respect,
always begin to decay in mute rain
with steady surprise of aggressive joy
that erodes social bonds of kind exchange
through gentle words that fray with grim contempt.

Still faceless shadows of strangers appear
through leafless trees of hibernal desire
where stories we share in putrescent hope
molder sweet as mushrooms after cold rain
despite how our relationships degrade
from withering words of spoiled innocence.

Assertive atrophy of eager faith
festers unresolved in pictureless rooms
though agents of change may deteriorate
against strict rules that angels arrogate
because lost treasures grow to mortify
arrested progress beyond crumbling walls.

Discolored frames of reference dwindle slow
at lessened constraints of unspoken trust
which pollutes pages of contractual codes
till truth disintegrates from legal fines
because our thoughts imply what we fear most
based on destructive attitudes we buy.

Yet Pindar sings no athlete-praising ode
while standing outside clean department stores
to strum guitar that Mercury designed
before he drowned with mermaids in the sea
for none now worship heroes who perform
great deeds that prop power of empire states.

Before my heart may shrivel with regret
from anguish-riddled blooms of widened faith,
my fractured brain still magnifies despair
beyond expansion certified by gods
to gear extensions germinating love
between lovers in burgeoning respect.

Failure to augment decline of world fate
through proliferation of devout creeds
escalates bellicose struggles for rights
through bumbling scrimmage of assertive play
which amplifies decrease of peaceful work
that stymies evolution against death.

To savor beauty of stark wintry days
while meandering through mirrorless maze,
I dwell on hyperborean aspect
of relentless change reconstructing truths
so we together comprehend with faith
new world order our cynicism molds.
