    Wow, wow... Amazing poem, excellently written, very metaphorical and complex. I just love everything about it: The topic, your message and the wording that creates unique and great atmosphere.
    My favorite stanza is:

    -"Ring around the rosy, pocket full of <shit>",
    And they said speaking my mind was a bad thing
    When you're full of cookies and that oh so tasty wit;
    (Ashes, ashes, we all fall...)-
    ^
    Truly effective, powerful!
    Whole concept is great and the repetition made quite interesting flow.
    Well done, 5/5 from me

    I didn't enjoy this poem quite as much as the others. It's definitely a good idea but it just seems like there's a bit too much wrapped up in one poem. My mind's going too many directions at once.

    As always, though, I enjoyed the imagery and the vivid descriptions that seem to be so common throughout your poetry.
