Or perhaps it&#8217;s a poem about protesters put to music.  The imagery is excellent.  The presentation is a bit cerebral it&#8217;s a song to make the listener think.  Where have we been?  Where are we headed?  Have we made any progress at all?  Not a real message of hope here&#8230;just a reality check, which, by the way is sonically very well put together. I like the percussive bass underlay and the guitars on top.  <\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>This song suffers from the lack of a chorus.  I could understand most of the words, but when you started ramping it up, the vocals (too many effects?  Faulty mix?) got muddied a bit.  Thanks for posting the lyrics.  It helped me to see the mastery of your poetry.  The last verse is particularly compelling.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Simpson-Mancine ProductionsSong: Line in the SandReviewer: Kate CarpenterPositive Comments: This appears to be a protest poem put to music.
