None Shall Pass, a freeverse

Free-verse poem inspired by the song by "Aesop Rock". I put hidden meaning into some of the lines, so I would love to hear interpretations!

Alright, here goes...

Defenestrated jesters lined up in the street
are what the ravens start to crave appreciatin' the meat
"Nevermore", and with one word the king left his seat
but the queen didn't stop him, an implied impeach
Now the sideline preachers are peaceful as Ghandi
I wish to be more like them, their wise eyes haunt me
sick of all the hate but I am no exception
all born as equals living as reflections
and both wings need to work for a body to fly,
but blind wolves are never full until the weight is pushed to their side
They bite the work-horse-s until their legs bleed
They right the war-horse-s that they don't feed
Creatures who can see are now de-sensitized
Put a gun to my head but I won't comply
No I won't comply
Because I am no longer afraid to die

And I will remember your name and face on the day you were judged by the fun house cast.
And I will rejoice in your fall from grace, cane to the sky like "None Shall Pass".

Non-cannibals, thought to be uncivilized animals
Young wolves domesticated to carry their parent's cannon-balls
Those on top have us chained to the feet of a sun God
Shh! Open season, time to clamor in the mud
and everybody claims that the crime rates are rising
the jesters blamed as though their souls are for signing
and all the wise owls never have a face-to-show
they never shed the feathered face that is vir-tu-al
Suicide rates are what is really on the rise
Sometimes I feel like we are already friend
Some are tied up in ties but I won't comply
When you're bored with your life is when you lose your pride
To speak but not act is a spiritual crime
So I will leave here, I have had my time

But I will remember your name and face on the day you were judged by the fun house cast
and I will rejoice in your fall from grace, cane to the sky like "None shall pass"

What do all of you think???
