I will say though, the title rocked, and the first stanza started out pretty well.

Too simplistic; I don't buy it.

The 1/begun rhyme did it in.

"And present a number of social agenda"
despite the possibility that it could be grammatically correct - this should be remade in such a way so that it doesn't raise the question.

Laced with interesting political language but I can't get past that it says, overal, "despite our potential, we suck" - that's what I get out of it anyway.

Maybe this would appeal to a campus audience more (I did like it better than the last one, though).

Not feeling this one - leaves me with half my face scrunched up.

But now that I[ve] opened them

I dunno mig - its true that the rhymes are typically simple for a popoular song, but I feel like some of these exist just for the sake of rhyme.

What's this one about?

I think this is a bit longer than it needs to be to express the sentiment.

Which, I have to admit, is a bit difficult to ascertain.

Gonna need some punch - best done in a smaller space.

Fascinating.

It's not too shabby, abby.

It presents a fairly solid package with a good ending. Sure - have an 8.
on The Unknown Soldier by abcmonkey78 26 Mar 2004, 7:52 AM
not bad, monkey. the longer lines help the AA BB rhymes which can easily be tiresome.

Maybe you can do something with this line
"And all the more I think about it, fear disgruntles breath"

and the last couplet, too. What's there is an example of a mixed metaphor - you have all this infantry imagery, then in comes the navy. Know what I mean? Don't run out of steam at the end!!

lastly, I won't second guess all your semicolons, since I'm pretty lenient with them, but I raised an eyebrow at a few.

its actually a stinky muddy brown - I just tested it.

Now I'm fresh out of pigs.
I like the flow of it and it stays to the right side of overdone.

You need a title?

how about "Final Cut"
