Are you in the mood to critique my poem?

Betrayal

By Koye Lott

Beasts disguised as men cause us to

Evacuate our common sense....

Telling us what we want to hear, prepping us for

Ritualistic slaughter and confusion....

Actors, not friends, but actors whose focus and

Yearning is concentrated on our demise

Allegiance to our downfall

Leading us blindly into an abyss......

    You do like your acrostics. The word 'evacuate' did not seem the best choice although you are somewhat limited by the acrostic. Maybe 'extinguish' or 'egest' or 'eliminate'? Also the word 'allegiance'? Maybe try 'accelerating' our downfall? Overall though, the message is strong.

    duhhh :P

    hmm...veryyyy interesing, I was wondering tho, should ritualistic be capital because it feels like a continuation of the line before it? Other than that point I think this is very thought-provoking, when i finished reading it I thought it was about how propaganda sorta brain-washes ppl then I read your title it gave the piece a whole new twist which I loved about it! I actually really like how it ended, it wasn't exactly abrupt but I guess the write generaly speaking went pretty quickly which would make it feel abrupt, especially when you wanna just sink into each word

    brilliant write! :D

    Ain't done yet. I love it, but it stops like a hitchcock movie, just short of the end. What's at the bottom of the abyss? Is there a way out?

    Very good my friend, you have described the Political Leaders of America at this time. They are leading US into captivity just as the Leadership of Judah did after the death of King Josiah, the last righteous King of Judah. The Nation Elected them, and the Nation will suffer for it.

    I nevertheless pick your writer 1st baron verulam butties inspite of what you reported and that i will permit you write the funnies yet i will nevertheless have tea in mattress. and that i do no longer care to be attentive to you in case you're no longer the doormat variety So i think of we are going to could smash rapid If i stumble on my shoes unshined. in case you do in contrast to what i've got uttered and prefer it left unsaid I truthfully do no longer provide a care; that's a ask your self which you're wed. Hush your mouth and heat my slippers Mend my holy, swanky socks; i do no longer care some lazy love That sits like ineffective rocks. i could take care of you like a Princess and help you in my royal ball in case you gave me kingly station And served me consisting of your all.

    you will find rats and mice digging under the foundations of a large beautiful mansion just to tear it down, or to force its people to live in misery or leave . those rats & mice don't realize that a wrecked mansion makes an open invitation for their arch enemies: owls and snakes.

    good acrostic, semper!

    Only critique I have is line 5 - should that be who's or whose? I get it mixed up.

    Otherwise - awesome poem acrostically speaking haha.

    And honestly content-wise a sad truth.

    That was really good. I could understand the point, yet it was not Plainy written. Great word choice.
