Uriah, this is the best of your poems I have read. Each line rings true and your theme is extremely universal but creative. Good work. Raynette
This is an extremely good poem, very original in substance, with nice imagery and a great ending. Well done!

I liked the last stanza especially the part 'create their art and flee'. Good write!
'...back-alley midnight dead'? That is a FABULOUS line! Very visual. LOVE it! S
