    ^^I really liked the opening, it is so true and speaks so loud, it definetely drew me in to read further.

    "Attitudes

    ^^ Absolutely frikken LOVE these lines, I'm not even sure what to say here, as these lines just blew me away..so much power behind the words..

    "Forgotten
    ginger
    hums
    in
    junction,
    killing
    love
    miraculously."

    ^^ I like this, but I find it to be a little weaker than the opening stanza, which was a little disappointing, however having said that the imagery in this stanza makes up for that, it creates such vivid pictures in my mind.

    "Nobley
    objective
    people
    question
    righteousness,
    starving
    tastes
    undeniably
    vast."

    ^^ Ahhh this is more like it...once again strong, full of power and feeling, and this is bringing up so many conflicting emotions for me as the reader.

    "Wilting
    xylem
    yeilds
    zealots."

    ^^ Well I admit I had to look up two of those words =D

    But I love this ending, I find this closing stanza to be more powerful than the rest of the piece put together.

    I really liked the style you used here, original and I imagine it would have been somewhat difficult to pull of but here you make it look effortless.

    K L M , the best letters in your alphabet. in my perspective the second stanza is the only one i sort of understood, you see i dont know if you were just giving words to the letters or if it was part of a bigger picture. either way the words that you chose are great, i think they have hidden meanings lol
