I work in the mental health industry and this poem ressonated with my experience of what it does to people. Well written and appropriate non forced rhymes.

thank you

Full of surprises that made me wake up. This was accomplished through the use of a well known 'voice' to deliver a completely unexpected message.

We will think like cattle munching grass unless challenged. Your poem removed the chlorophyll and replaced it with mystery and surprise.

You get an A+ for resurrecting thought process. Nice work.

A very well written poem. I love the subject of the piece, and it is crafted with skill. Keep up the good work!

Very, very, clever. Your rhymes are perfect too. At first I thought I was being fooled by one of those ads that appear here constantly.Glad to see an excellent poem by a real writer instead. Great job.
