    Beneath the Hardship

    OFFSPRING of love divine, Humanity!
    To who, his eldest born, the Eternal gave
    Dominion over the heart; and taught to touch
    Its varied stops in sweetest unison;
    And strike the string that from a kindred breast
    Responsive vibrates! from the noisy haunts...
    .
    Of mercantile confusion, where the voice becomes a prayer,
    It is over-heard from the blaring meretricious glare
    Of crowded theatres, where in the cheerless place,
    Sits Sensibility, our watery eyes meet numbers of unlightened faces,
    Dropping over fancied woes her useless tear was still,
    "Come here, sit and weep with me; our substantial ills;
    Torn from their natal shore, and doomed to bear unloving weather,
    The breeze was cool as the ocean, sand was light as feathers
    Sustain. Nor vainly let our sorrowed blood flow and stain,
    Nor let the strong emotion make us cry and rise in vain
    But may the kind contagion widely spread throughout the part,
    Till in its flame we see the prize, the unrelenting heart
    One bright blaze of sparks, the core of universal love,
    Gone in grateful incense, rises up to heaven above
    Formed with the same capacity of pain, cuts cleanse with salty seas,
    The same desire of pleasure, delight, joy, and of ease
    Why feels not man for man? When nature shrinks we vanish,
    If Mother Nature returns to our land, she will be immediatley bannished

    From the slight puncture of an insect's sting, no more nightmares or crime,
    Faints if not screened from sultry suns, medicine leaves and pines
    Beneath the hardship of an hour's delay, we swim out to sea,
    Of needful nutriment and relaxation; when liberty...
    Is prized so dearly, that the slightest breath can shade the day,
    That ruffles but her mantle, the people can now awake
    To arms, unwarlike nations, that can begin the rain,
    Confederate states to vindicate and indicate her torrid claims
    Why shall the suffering man, follow his nearing doom,
    To ills he mourns, or spurns at? flowers with stripes that bloom
    His quivering flesh; with hunger and with thirst and drinks oil,
    Waste his emaciate frame?............... in ceaseless toils
    Exhaust his vital powers; and bind his limbs 'til they're warm,
    In galling chains and shackles?, shall he whose fragile form
    Demands continual blessings, to support the poor and rude,
    Its complicated texture; air, water and the food
    To ask those mercies, whilst his selfish aim of remorse,
    Arrests the general freedom while their sleepin' during the force?

    Well, doing my solem duties as a mod' I stumbled across this as I was checking to see if you'd posted links. & I'm glad to say I did. You wrote a brilliant piece here Ben. You had a great emotive style to your writing which will captivate most people who read this. I was surprised at how well your mechanics were put together. Your multi's/internals flowed niceand never hindered your verse. The piece in itself was nice, however I did find you concentrated on everything else but "the point you was making". I felt a little confusion on your part, but your desription, comparisons and metaphors were great.

    To arms, unwarlike nations, that can begin the rain,
    Confederate states to vindicate and indicate her torrid claims

    This was great. A joy to read somebody write this..
    It may take different meanings for the both of us but this was so nice.
    Props, man. Well worth the read and the nomination Ima give it.

    God damn... *Claps* That was pretty amazing man. Are you an alias or just a vet off some other site? You couldn't be new to topicals if you're pulling this kind of work off. Man, you're a nice addition to Rb's growing number of poetic writers. This piece was brilliant in the ways of metaphore... The imagery was just so emotion fueld in my eyes, like, you were explaining an image yet it apealed just as highly to the heart as anything else you know? Loved the flow on this peace, wasn't a usual bar to bar rhyme scheme, you stayed creative flowing the last lines rhyme through the begining of a new then bringing in a whole new rhyming pattern to switch it up and keep the piece ever interesting. Not only the flow of the words, but the flow of your content was very nice... Everything ran right into the next seamlessly. Overall this was a great piece, lines were alittle long but I think with the rhyming you incorperated the long lines were well supported well. Glad to have you on Rb man, hope to see more from you soon.

    ... It'd be apreciated it you could leave some feedback on my OM: "The Garden of Eden"

    Technically excellent. Great metre, rhyme, style, metaphors, etc.
    However, I must confess that I couldn't relate to a lot of it because
    I couldn't get the true meaning of most of the metaphors or see what they were referring to. Great work though.

    Simply dope, I've watched you progress quitely while here on RB. It's nice to see you dropping at this caliber, very nice read indeed. When I seen your name, (the one I gave you) i decided to drop in and read. I must say, I was very impressed. Read yoru stuff before, but nothing as sound as this here. Abstract in ways, but damn, very well done. The only thing I would suggest is working on transitional schemes, you rhyems were damn good, but you could have made them even better. Just a few minor changes as far as the rhyme scheme goes and this would have been doper than it is now, and that's dope. Nice to see you nailing it down bro, keep up the great work. OM HoF for sure, thanks for posting...

    "Of mercantile confusion, where the voice becomes a prayer,
    It is over-heard from the blaring meretricious glare"

    like the content here, interesting the word usage.

    "Torn from their natal shore, and doomed to bear unloving weather,
    The breeze was cool as the ocean, sand was light as feathers"

    An extremely descriptive dope line...
    I caught the image in my head instantly.
    especially the " sand was light as a feather part.
    You definitely know how to draw a picture with
    words.


    "One bright blaze of sparks, the core of universal love,
    Gone in grateful incense, rises up to heaven above"

    Original content...concept that of a fantasy very good
    imagery so far.

    "Exhaust his vital powers; and bind his limbs 'til they're warm,
    In galling chains and shackles?, shall he whose fragile form"

    Dope imagery again shackles and binding limbs
    dope...your word selection helps your lines
    out greatly. It helps bring across that great
    imagery.




    Very nice piece..
    Felt it was Shakespearean in away.
    Lovely word choice I must say..
    Nice content , Metaphor and rhythmic scheme.


    Definitely Stay dropping and I appreciate your
    feed on mine.
