I have nothing more to say than I hope this is nominated because for some reason I can't

So, I have to say the repetition in this drove me nuts, that is my greatest pet peeve in poetry unless it is done spotlessly - and I'm sorry to say, but you still have some practice before you get htat perfect :P

I did enjoy the mostly flawless flow though. Which is actually kind of incredible, because it is difficult to keep a person engaged and in steady rhythm with a piece as lengthy as this. Also, your ending was pretty decent. It really left an impact and left me thinking.

Not to be cruel, but I do not believe this piece was worthy of a nomination because it is not one of your best works. It has too little voice and personality from you and it has too many words in all caps to really seem profound or powerful enough for the weekly newsletter.
