We know not of internalized fear We condemn not of Gods ear We seize the moment in all its glory We beckon the lights of the unholy We block the road to destruction We strive to build the city of perfection We can touch all that lives in our minds We fall forward but are still behind We swallow the birds of prey We wait and hope for a new day We march on the stairs of stone We regret sins that we condone We stand here unattended all alone
We murder tiny hopes We climb these slippery ropes We throw stones at boulders We stay warm just to get colder We try so hard just to get older We shed tears to wet a shoulder We provide for a great life tale We succeed at heart but in mind we fail We can see the top of our own heads We love both lips cherry reds We surge through the skinny tunnel We jump right in this clogged funnel
We crave indifference to our selves We place books of clay on our shelves We play this game of lies We sleep all day when others rise We stare to preserve our dying eyes We shed the skin of a forgotten compromise We break the bottle of heavens reward We seek justice to settle the score We assume a stance of decadence We murmur a speech of relevance We can not afford a fake We will no be burnt alive at the stake
We return a gift of beauty We hope falsely and truly We collect residue of past reasons We change colors, like leaves of past seasons We consume misery into our hell We fill water into this dry well We flash a clenched fist We struggle to control and desist We laugh them off but they insist We are only human, how can we resist We endow windy tremors We forget but our unconscious remembers We perform blatant miracles We devise unworldly spectacles We reach out with all our tentacles We deposit our dreams in labeled receptacles We fall too high on loves principles We decline the notion that we are acceptable We join the spirits of the condemned We all meet here in the end

I understand where you were going with this and the ideas within your poems are good ones. While I enjoyed reading this piece, I found that it left something to be desired either in the rhythm or rhyme, or in your choice of words at some parts. Overall good write, keep it up.
