Hate
SweetPain

Ignorance
 1
is its fuel
 2
killing young ones and
 3
filling its pool with
 4
people who don't want to understand,
 5
and who shoot down others
 6
who raise their hand.
 7
Bombs will just enhance the fire
 8
creating more disgust and ire.
 9
Corruption and scathing lies
 10
won't cover-up the cries of
 11
the dieing and the bitter souls.

Not bad...not bad at all.  You got a tiny typo though...line 9: citizen.  For some reason, I really like line 2.

thanx for that one EdwardDurden !

anyone have any suggestions?

Better than most of the hate poems out there, I say: imagery and metaphors are nice touches. But, lines 5 and 6 are awkward, I suggest rewriting them entirely. Also, the ending and the beginning seem to be going to different places. There is also no dash in 'cover up' and you spelled 'citizens' wrong.

Bleh, but now L9 is awkward...am I ever satisfied? And the lines you used to replace the others for 5 and 6 were great.

I must say, this isn't as good as your others. They were mostly great whereas this is a bit better than ok.

I have a very odd rating system. I hate numbers.

I like this heartfelt poem that has as much bullshit in it as my underpants clean on

I would have to agree with you Lia, I posted to see if someone could help me better the content. And to Larrylark...huh?
