Dispensations of Grace
Hard considerations for the future of mankind
The bard sings commiserations as he looks for what he cannot find
A shard of intimidations hurled toward the innocent and kind
A card that invokes incantations as they question the lucidity of her mind
A lenient life sentence to constantly wonder through philosophical terrain
The convenient repentance of a man who stands by greed to gain
As expedient incentives are formed to stop the poor from expressing their pain
The ingredients for inventive warns creatives to endure the weight of constant strain
Contemplations of Shakespeare Goethe, Baudelaire and the weight of my conscience
Concentration camps that are now there in full view and they dare to call it nonsense
Salutations reserved for the configurations of the absurd at the next NATO conference
Conflagrations of callous imitations create the mystery surrounding the inference
As fortunate fictitious narratives headline the cheapened world of truth
The ornament of original design distracts me from lamenting my youth
Apportionment indicates politicians should resign amidst this carnival of the uncouth
At the tournament of malaise and refine there’s no winners unless you’re a sleuth
Propositions that reduce visions of possible elevation to rubble amidst all the splendour
Inquisitions of the most formal revelation as you walk past the local street vendor
Tacticians of emotional stagnation imbued in all that you deplore and render
Submissions and overt culminations of all that you wish to ignore like the very last Big Spender
Reverting back to the hopeful realms of redemption and beauty and refine and a can of mace
Converting over to Islam as a Christian ponders prevention of the dissemination of an entire race
Disconcerting as an innocence is forming in the intentions and warning in the lines of her softening face
Introverting the pretension and reflection as we reach to the heavens for grace

This gets a fave just for the Baudelaire (one of my faves, of course) alone. Elizabeth, this one floods the page with ambition and delivers. The weight of history, grief, and literary ghosts all swirl together… but you still manage to thread conscience through it. That line…“tacticians of emotional stagnation”…hit especially hard. You held nothing back. Beautifully done. 🌹👏
Thankyou so much Tristan , you really do absorb what you are reading , I’m so grateful for your review as I wasn’t sure and was
Quite nervous to release this one. I’m so glad you appreciated the conscience and honesty & could relate & connect to some of the lines. A shared appreciation of Baudelaire is always welcomed and rare!! Thankyou for your kindness and honesty and intellectual & emotional intelligence of your reviews, they are so appreciated beyond words!! Sincerely, Elizabeth 🦋🦋
You are welcome. Wow! I am humbled by your review of my reviews, my friend! 🤣 Seriously, you are more than welcome. I can only share what the poem meant for me when I read it and that I landed in my interpretation makes me thrilled! Thank you, Elizabeth. You a great poet and a philosopher and I dig that lots (being both myself, I am a bit biased 😏).
A modern poetic book of Revelations? Scepticism, Irony and disenchantment all in one. Very nicely rhymed and constructed.
Oh wow that is an amazing concept and idea Soren, I am so intrigued by your insights and the depth of your perceptions! Thankyou so much, what a great idea. I lack the confidence but am finding such a supportive community of poets here that it really does help spur on the process & keep the second guessing of myself at bay!! Thankyou again heartfelt and true! Elizabeth
