Criticism / Theres a reason the sun rises, and ignorance is not bliss.

No. I do not understand why the runner wins in a tie to first. Kinetic energy is bold, but is it not the thought that counts. Does the first basemen not have to receive and return said hit ball to its instigator. What routes and pathways this game item travels are irrelevant upon the ultimate conclusion.

You lose. Despite your efforts, your teams efforts, and equivalent skill level . First base is no mans land. The first foot, inch, second, ideal. Is there no admission of success. Why can this black and white clad adrenaline/power junkie decide the fate of me and my team.

My people.

My race.

There is no limbo.

Unknown.

Decision.

Law is a tricky hole.

We can treat each other as we would want to be treated, but a third party rules golden. Opportunity is limited by an outdated and cynical congress of the past likes and dislikes of men.

Am I not an individual?

I do not want to be exclusive. Why is my free will forced stagnant.
Yes I understand majority rules, but only with constant conditioning.
It tastes sour in my mouth, but human beings are domesticated.
How does oppression, inequality, and “justice” shine kind eyes on the arrogance of man as a whole.

I say “anarchy”, you say “criminal.”
I say “God as design”, you say “heathen.”
I say “the sky is green with pollution”, you say take a “Claritin D.”
I say “I’m sad”, you say “I’m not,” and you lie to yourself.

Big brothers tell you the truth, so you do not fuck up.
They do not map your DNA so they can refuse your health care.
They do not conform your movement, eating habits, and evolution.
They preach, because you can not get into heaven by good works alone.

It took billions of years for the present to form.
Ups. Downs. Lefts. Rights. Insides. Outside. Dreams. Thoughts.

Theres, and thens.

Here and now I am angry I can not drink water from a freshwater stream.
You take a hit off of a natural tobacco cigarette and frown. Now show the same smoking prowess through the exhaust pipe of a Chrystler and tell me why there is an anti smoking campaign before crude engine ozone burning cars are outlawed. Doesn’t walking make you healthier?

Oh wait!

You have to get to work on time. Where the time you spend is not as important as how you spend it.

Has anyone proved time reality? It must be the quartz in your wrist watch that makes the sun rise in the morning. It must be days that make you wiser.

Full moons make your hair turn gray.

Right?

Open your eyes. Help me open mine.

I say “the sky is green with pollution”, you say take a “Claritin D.”  (nice)
Individually, there are some good line, a spark of profundity here and there; but as a whole, this is a jumble. Jumbles are entertaining, but they tend to be called jumbles and not published articles. Have I missed the thread that holds all of these sections together? If so, I’m sorry. If not, get a thread going here, and you’ll get good response to this.

Proofreading notes:
thought that counts. (Replace period with question mark. In general, you ask a lot of questions but don’t use the question mark.)
no mans land = no man’s land
How does oppression, inequality, and “justice” shine kind eyes on the arrogance of man as a whole. (Good question? Maybe, but this reviewer has no idea what it means. How does oppression shine kind eyes on anything?)

The last line of this rant is one that screams from a generation such as ours. Youth of America. Where your frustration lays is a little untidy, and your overuse of cliches need a little editing.

Overall this is a eloquent provocative piece made from a strong voice.

say “anarchy”, you say “criminal.”
I say “God as design”, you say “heathen.”
I say “the sky is green with pollution”, you say take a “Claritin D.”(FUNNY)

Your piece is very difficult to understand. First off, your syntax is cumbersome, your word choice is pretentious, and your punctuation needs serious attention. But even more disconcerting to this reader is the absence of a clearly stated, overriding idea and an almost complete absence of concrete details explaining or supporting your vague statements. Only in the three lines starting,”Here and now I am angry…..” do you finally give the reader something to grasp in the way of what you are driving at, and that is almost at the end of your piece. You need to use straightforward language supported by concrete details the illustrate or clarify further what you are trying to communicate. I haven’t the vaguest idea what you mean by “Why is my free will forced stagnant.” Is this a question? What does “forcd stagnant” mean? Ditto “They do not conform your movement, eating habits, and evolution.” And “It tastes sour in my mouth, but human beings are domesticated.” These sentences make no sense, and you make no effort to clarify them. This was a very difficult piecce to read; I ended feeling more frustrated than informed, by a long, long shot.

You make some good points. Most of this is extremely well written. I would like to see a stronger first statement to really suck people in.  The final statement is a good punch, but a set-up, maybe tying back into the base ball from the beginning, would really make it a knock-out blow:). No real errors that I don’t think aren’t intentional.
