The laws and graces of hypocrisy
The laws and graces of hypocrisy
two, prosecuted, paired, and peering over battlefields divine
Their christ, in his rejuvenated essence, he shouts, your woman must be such swine
No longer our lord since our lips touch that fruit forbade, gently cascading above our temped heads
Down near my feet, marrow of young damned be seen in contrast with the saved and delighted,
Fused in stagnant prostration in awe of their Great Defeat
Of a promised eternal destination across the hedge of decaying green
Along a sea of cloudy blessing and reject a line Gods have placed with a fist of allegorical strength
His council’s rigor of implication of law and of grace
The soil remains the one who shall rein while -
underfoot of the gods and his army alike
They tread on foot then whine above
The law grants chaos and suffering in one, where graces granting love
Their hatred rots into darkened despair
for those adjacent, While, in his gracious hypocrisy they breathe clean air
