    Watch!
    We're watching you,
    through membraned sockets:
    a soulless glare of
    uninspiring irrelative generations.

    Heed the Harbinger

    We are the downtrodden,
    the used, and the finished.
    We're waiting and watching,
    predicting the end of the
    world.

    And new life forms from dust
    while we return to such.
    Naive youths control
    as the fate of the world
    unfurls.

    Only ashes remain: a squandered youth delivered.
    Only memories contained,
    a sign never to ignore
    fate's cruel Harbinger.

       It's a really good concept. I like it alot. I would suggest a couple of things. First, when you are using the single word lines you should use words that have a dramatic impact. Something like this:

    We're watching you,
    through membraned sockets:
    soulless
    glares of uninspiring irrelative generations.

    Heed the Harbinger

    We are the downtrodden,
    the used, and the finished.
    We're waiting and watching,
    predicting the
    end
    of theworld.

    And new life forms from dust
    while we return to such.
    Naive youths control, as the
    fate
    of the world unfurls.

    Heed the Harbinger

    Only ashes remain: memories contained
    Squandered youth delivered.
    Remember not to ignore the ever
    cruel
    Harbinger.

    I also added, heed the harbinger, one more time. It was kind of out of place with just the one usage. I changed the last stanza a bit.

    Well, it's just a suggestion. Just work on it a little. It could be an outstanding piece.

    ciao!

      I don't know what to think about your choice to place some words on their own lines. I tried this in a poem a couple of years ago and really loved it at the time, now I read it and wonder what I had in mind because it doesn't seem to add to the poem at all. I think you could look at what you have done here and do the same (maybe the time of writing was a factor :p). Ask yourself - does this add to the poem? If not maybe it should go..

    Other than that, I like it. At first it sounded revolutionary and then took the twist. Thanks for the read.
