Societal Neurosis

Restraining the militia of our phrenic blockade,
While imitating honesty and acting unafraid,
Despise and loathe each other, adjudge who is in control,
The bonds of mutual hatred: they thrive to make you whole.
Our final destination, our spiritual crusade
Curse the delicious elegance of this malign charade.

Your loyal, robust majesty has always been portrayed
Like a repugnant demigod and destined to degrade.
And no one else alleges that money is a shrine.
Respect for all religions, no matter how supine.
In order to stay recognized as well as persuade,
Please the delicious elegance of this malign charade.

The old world weeps in agony and loses touch with Earth.
The fresh, newfangled dynasty, the spiritual rebirth,
The ghosts of our serenity arrived to serenade,
For the rejected promises, for the unwanted aid.
As you renounce you warranties and hang entirely swayed,
Thank the delicious elegance of this malign charade.

And no one else alleges that coins possess a sign.
Ensure regard for slavery, no matter how divine.
The present-day theology has chosen its grim path,
Our universal deity insinuating wrath.
In order to stay recognized as well as persuade,
Kill the delicious elegance of this malign charade.

Whoaaaaa! you quite throw me off guard- sounding very scholarly. that's amazing, and something I can't do even if i try, so awesome, that. But I also think you could simplify your poems while stll sticking to your style of writing, maybe?
