    Very true.

    When will we wake up from this nightmare that we made in exchange to safisty man's endless greed.

    "All of God's children need to be made aware"

    I agree, regardless of what religion we are in...we are still standing/moving in one direction, to freedom,love and trust of course.

    This is different and quite true. Today's society with new toxic technologies is quickly grabbing the minds and bodies of people and turning them into something awful.
    Only critisism I have is in the last stanza the flow is inhibited by the jump in syllable count and wordiness. I realise you weren't following a count as such, but keeping similar meter and counts throughout aids the flow.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I really liked the first two lines; they had a very strong poetic element to them. Though the rest of the poem was good, the phrasing and rhythym might have been a little awkward in a few places (especially here: "Designer drugs to control the scoffing skeptic
    Bio warfare for which there is but one antiseptic"-- I would suggest counting syllables to make sure that they match up; there are two extra syllables in the second line. I liked the alliteration though.) Now that I really look in-depth into it, I would give it a 5, but I've already voted. ;( My bad. Great job, though.

    Forgot to include this in my other comment: I liked the message a lot.

    I really feel this poem is unfinished, maybe just a little two liner to polish off and leave the reader with a question as to what we should do.

    I also thought the transition in the third stanza from bio-warfare to piety was too to big a jolt, like a grating of gears that you hear three cars over. Did you have to rush the end or did you not get a change to write a second draft?

    Aside from that I still like where this is going and your intentions of the message even if I feel it is not quite finished just yet.
