Sacrifice For Moral Code

Sacrifice For Moral Code

Because the gift of prophecy demands 
sacrifice of treasure we value most, 
I replicate with pristine character 
mask of my mundane personality 
so I become wise scapegoat for the world 
that guides attention of creative care. 

To die as sacrifice for moral code, 
contrived to manage gestures of concern 
that channels guilt of selfish procurement, 
I play role of fate-wounded sufferer 
who struggles bravely calm to overcome 
mental challenges through resilience. 

Heap all your bitter sorrows on my head 
when you expose my culpability 
presenting efforts to master deep flaws 
through bright deception you accepted well 
as proof that fragile humans with bold hearts 
may transcend limitations of our souls. 

Through my fantastic tale of daring feats, 
which I present as honest narrative 
of hard-won triumph over weaknesses, 
you offer rewards for accomplishments 
that prove all people willing to work hard 
have strength to bolster status of their fate. 

Yet heights achieved through too aggressive game 
thrust fragile sense of victory beyond base 
adjusted for safe balance of the heart, 
therefore the higher we rise through hard work 
the farther from earned merits we may fall 
and crash so hard we shatter wordlessly. 

Sharp shards of my integral sense of self, 
scattered far across fraught landscape of pride, 
fail to hope-activate magnetic coherence 
for vital principles of framed insight 
to reassemble mask of my true self 
so I become sly thief you think I am. 

Alone in gloom of my besieged framework, 
without truth-binding creed that hard work pays 
social dividends of accepted prize, 
I question nature of essential faith 
composing public person I perform 
outside containment of my stale success. 

Failure to focus fractured facts of fate 
within well-ordered system of respect 
causes my soul disperse in mocking wind 
so I sink deep into bottomless abyss 
and vanish from theater of false pride 
in sacrifice that prophesies your doom.
