I have to agree with John. A grand theme that is a bit of a mess punctuation wise. I have a suggestion that could let you see what and where you really want to stress, then maybe work out from there. It is a simple one of observance. Limit yourself to one comma per verse, play with it, and see how the various ideas play out and add to the stress of the poem. Then once you have wrestled it to order you can if absolutely needed add a few more commas, but I suspect you might be quite surprised at how few are going to be required

I think I see where you're going with this one, and the theme is a worthy one. You might want to take another look at the punctuation, however. It comes across as a bit choppy and messes up the rhythm.
