    ..........Do the social graces
    ........See the starving faces
    ...........Or eloquently turn
    ............While they burn
    ^^ ah this is so relavent to todays heartless world honestly i mean people are so selfish and choose not to help others out? what if you were in their position? would you want people to be that cruel...? i love the point you draw up here it is so true! great clincher

    ..........Those trained to kill
    .............Have social skill
    .............While the forlorn
    .............Await their scorn
    ^^interesting word choice : ) it was nice to read i was intrigued by the concepts here People who get away with murder do posses some type of skill i dont think i have ever viewed it in that type of light You make the reader look and think about things differently !

    ............They did crucify
    ,,,,,,,,,,,,A social butterfly
    ...........But He rose on high
    ............Never more to die
    ^^ ah i love this stanza : ) it pertains to my religion and i hold my religion close to me so i find this stanza just amazing! you are right we do die physically but eternally with Jesus we will NEVER perish

    ............What a social grace
    ..........That He took our place
    .........Tortured for all sinners
    ........So losers could be winners
    ^^ a very sutle way to put it at the end i enjoyed that you could have used some fancy worded line for the closing but i think it was effective to just state it black and white simply it made more of an impact because i was expecting that complex response

    great job with this piece! 5/5

    "but he rose on high"
    [But he's risen on high]
    - Not much of a syllable difference and sounds better (to me, at least).

    Let me say, I adore this poem. I usually end up not liking poems or telling people that they're okay poems with overall good meaning and such. But, In all honesty your poetry is poetry that I absolutely adore. I've come across a few that I wasn't too fond of - but majority of them are just amazingly written. Such as this one.
