The Obituary of an officialdom

The Obituary of an officialdom

A Poem by Shane Hogan Poetry

The masses have walked,
Where I now tread.
It is not beyond my understanding
how one, would have a trite character;
amongst the thoughts of what was.
I do not claim to be upright,
When this world is upturned;
I am dogmatic in the dogmatism,
that all we know is of false and fleeting matters. 

I follow granite bodies
welcoming me so hypnotically to a step,
This is the bridge of questions domain;
"If I pass the cross will phenomena remove my earth?",
"Will all sense be ebbed away?".
I pass bye, against all instincts.
I discover a mind that is paranoid,
that has feared the senseless,
strong and progressive,
I walk freely here.

I see an effigy of what could have been a great leader
but his story remains forgotten.
Remembering the moral, 
even if thought by a frivolous figure, 
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you";
I agree with all sincerity,
no malice shadows my words.

I sit at a pew and furnish 
my understanding of my situation;
If I am the one of un-ecclesiastical values,
then why am I the one who follows the message,
while these people talk with mouthfuls of apple?

I leave all else to encourage more malevolence than I,
But I will speak in tongue for all, 
mortal or divine,
*Nota Bene:
Time will cease all nominal;
you can not save yourself 
from what is to come.

"I follow granite bodies
welcoming me so hypnotically to a step,"I honestly see no grammatical errors and this poem is phenomenally written. I applaud this.
