Reviews For: God Be Damned
Loriency 2005-06-27 . chapter 1
One might wonder why I chose this poem to review. I shall tell you why. Because I am a Christian, and thus the title stuck out at me. However, upon reading the poem, I don't feel the poem suits it. For one,the poem gets the message across, but I don't think you felt it when you wrote it. I don't think the words you used correctly displayed your meaning. Secondly, I don't think that the title suits it at all. And I mean at all. The more I read the poem, the more I was trying to figure out how it intersected with the title. For the most part, it didn't. It didn't sound like you were trying to blame God, but more the world. You made it sound as if the world led itself into destruction, not God. And in all honesty, that's what happened. God did not let the world fall into destruction, nor did He lead it there. The world led itself there, and that's what I feel your poem is trying to portray. Personally, I think you should change the title. The poem displays a message, but you might want to try to choose which exact meaning you're trying to get across. But other than that, I thought it was a good poem, though not flowing as nicely as I think it could have.

I'm sorry, I'm a critic for someone whose work is probably better than my own. :P
