Can a poet make up new words...Hypocrat...a short free verse?

Hypocrat


A soap box
upon which cleanliness
is compared to the divine
whilst festered filth
rest beneath the nails that grip
a podium
or
some other symbol of authority

a coffin
and the worms await
for the meek shall inherit the earth
as will everyone else
when the dusty finally settles

politics
and corruption
the currency of peace?

a new lease of life
and the shame is swallowed whole
by consumer comforts
and the idea that
at least
I am better than that person
or this person
and my SUV is bigger too
