    The saint longs for a higher cause
    And sees the purpose of the laws

    There's something about those two lines that just doesn't flow right . Other than that , fantastic rhyming and the flow is good other than that . Nice message , and alot of strong words in such a small poem . 5/5

    A really nice poem
    Cynics, Saints and Sinners
    Three very strong words
    Summed up and expanded on brilliantly in only one line, but an brilliant one line

    I really enjoyed this and im going to read it again.

    Wow, I really like the whole idea of the poem. And how you start each 'stanza.' My favorite lines are the first four. I guess just because of the controversy.

    Good,
    a little short, but pretty good.

    But id just like to say, not all saints follow the rules.
    Many see that in order to achieve a greater good, some rules and laws must be broken.

    Let me start off by saying great title : ) i love the sound sync it had it was clever but deep you know? well obviously you do lol you made it

    now to your poem!! : )

    The sinner lives to break the rules
    To enjoy pleasures of the fools
    ^^so very true i mean there is such a contrast between sinners and saints the sinner finds pleasure in the moment not thinking about the end result or future ((in my opinion)) usually it come back to bite them in the butt! : x

    The saint longs for a higher cause
    And sees the purpose of the laws
    ^^the rationality to many things !!! i agree with you : ) i like the wording "higher cause" this could be God, faith, hope, etc. it is left up to a certain amount of interpretation ! it is good that you worded it this way because the reader gets involved somewhat deciding how to interpret these lines

    The cynic is to each his own
    Exalting himself all alone
    ^^ahh cynical people they make me chuckle because i am the opposite of them i must give them some credit though because they discover some rational things that others would not have realized i would never want to be a cynical person though it would be depressing if you ask me!!!

    We may think of an exemption
    Yet, all humans need redemption
    ^^very powerful ending it made me go "huh" like a thinking mood because we all do no matter which category you fall in, there is some flaw to that type of person

    great poem : ) 5/5

    ***woow I really like the opening of the poem and I must say: this is really true. I still believe that those who sin are mostly the one who get caught..and always get what they deserve (or at least I hope that)!!

    The saint longs for a higher cause
    And sees the purpose of the laws

    ***I really like your phrasing in the first line.
    It leaves us clueless of which "higher cause" you are talking about..very interesting

    The cynic is to each his own
    Exalting himself all alone

    ***I really like this lines aswell..i don't really know what to say to that..it's just great!!

    We may think of an exemption
    Yet, all humans need redemption

    ***I really always try to find something negative in a poem or at least leave a little hint to improve their poem but here I totally don't know what to write..I really like the theme of your poem as it is not about the typical stuff that you can find here. It made me think who I am..and this should actually be one of the purposes in poetry (for my opinion). I will have a look at your other works as I really really enjoyed it.

    I hope we could get in contact!!

    Take care,

    Human nature is so vivid and unpredictable... still you have captured it well.. sumarising us in three categories... and defining our nature...

    well done ...

    For me, this was an interesting read. I felt it was put together nicely, and interestingly. I enjoyed how you wrapped it all up together nicely at the end. The only thing that I was a bit iffy about was the title. I understand that those are difficult to come up with, but I think you could have gone with something stronger. Still, great job. (:
