    Very deep poem. The emotion was great. Everything about this poem was great. Though there was a part or two that I didnt understand fully. It was still a great poem and I gave it a 5/5.

    "Burn your anger with fierce torches"

    I am not sure the FIERCE is the best word here; normally fire is thought of as hot or intense; fierce normally describes an action or feeling.

    "the pain, the sorrow, such misery"

    Maybe try THE PAIN, THE SORROW, THE MISERY or THE PAIN, SORROW, AND MISERY. Using THE twice then SUCH kind of breaks up the flow.

    "that can't be too awfully far ahead"
    AWFULLY seems like a weak word to use here. Maybe just remove the word completely. I am not sure an adjective is needed here.

    "Chase running mice with rakes of all sorts "
    CHASE / RUNNING may be redundant here. If someone is not running, then you cannot chase them. Maybe try CHASING MICE WITH ..."

    "limbs of our wounds" this is confusing. Wounds don’t have limbs.

    "we shall lose them as a whole." I really like the closing line. Its powerful and ends on a good note.

    The poem is pretty good overall. Some of the wording is confusing but the point is clear.

    I liked this poem. It is about a sort of interesting subject, that you will fight a moral battle even if you know you're going to lose it, or atleast that is what I believe it's about.

    This is my favorite and my most conflicting line in the whole poem:

    "Fight battles with silhouette's of men,
    forging words from mouths of the dead,
    as we claim the mistakes of their hearts
    that can't be too far ahead."

    I think that it's really the last part that got me wondering about it, there was a great deal of missing syllables compared to the rest of the stanza's, it's also the only one without a - in it...but that would be me being picky.

    I don't see too many wrongs in this, there are a few, such as switching from imagery and then back to adjectives, it's sort of a hard switch at time to time.

    I really liked it, and felt that this told a very good story. I'm not sure why it would get a 4.

    I give it 5/5

    Great flow, everything was well written... the first stanza really got my attention and lured me in for some reason.. your opening line was magnificant.. and I loved the way you worded it... This is pretty much a flawless write.. meaning that you've wrote a masterpiece for everyone to see. :] I wouldn't change anything.. you did a fantastic job with this one. Your vocabulary is quite simple.. but sometimes simplicity in poems can be a good thing, and here it is. So well done.

    5/5.
