    I wrote this on the way to college...it's about the ways humans define themselves thorugh the mediums of psychology and sociology..and how these two approaches can conflict.

    Kind of difficult to understand although I took a psych/soc. course, the words run together, but i like that effect. but the second to last line... i think you meant changing...

    anyway. 5/5.

    I wonder if people understood this poem, it seems that the low rating could have been a result of someone just not understanding what you were saying... Or maybe someone was downvoting you because you're a mod.

    In any case, I enjoyed the breakup of the 'ologies', and I felt that the flow of the first two stanzas was really strong, and that the third stanza offered a sort of emotional and theoretical foundation for the rest of the poem; a fitting end.

    This poem is absolutly great. its my kind of poem. i have been searching for poets to veer from the usual, the sappy, and the cliche. i have to say that your work is very intuigeing*.

    Okay, that's what real poetry is. Unfortunately, I am nowhere near the ability to play with words in a way that is clever, interpretive, and rhythmic. In fact, a Preschooler could produce better! But you...yeah, you are a true poet and that's something to be proud of. Great writing, and your side note makes me more ashamed than ever. You wrote this on the way to class? Woo.

    10/5

    This poem is one that many, including myself, have to read over and over again.

    That is what I love about poems with this type of depth and twist involved. No matter how many time you read or how you look at, you will always get something different the next time around.

    Kevin, you certainly are a complexed young mane and it is only fitting that your poetry be complex as well.

    This is actually a good thing as it will put many reader on their toes and make them use their minds.

    Oh, I like this, Kevin! I belief I understand what you're meaning by this -- taking a look at sociology, psychology, maybe 'ologies' in general -- and how they mingle, differ, mayhap even distort and corrupt.

    If that's not what you intended, my apologies. But whether or not I'm getting it, I find it very amusing in a wry, perhaps even sardonic manner.
