ACTS OF DEALS

[Hematite12]

ACTS OF DEAL
Dare not, whisper to chief.
Well everybody knows
Greed took firm of crowns
It’s a mischief
That drove us out of Eden

It’s cold darkness
Shine not
‘Cause it’s a ray
That dims within

The untold forbidden
Were open secrets, just hidden
In scattered files and minds of fathers
Well, it grew to character.

The jury so keen
But sprouted deals
Invaded by the chief’s kin
And case handled so seal
Then charged no sin
Dimmed within

Where is the ground?
Where true firm words are found?
Well, everybody knows
It’s beyond acts of deals.

I think the poem could benefit from more punctuation. The word choice is generally pretty creative, with the whole "chief" thing, but I don't understand the content much. What are "acts of deals"?

As far as rhyming, I think the poem would benefit from either rhyming the entire thing in couplets, or just free versing it entirely.

Also a couple questions, which I hope will not deem this off-topic.

Also with the poem, try to clarify phrases like "case handled so seal" and "grew to character". I don't really know what those mean.
