No dollar left behind(complete and final version)
this is the complete version of No dollar left behind, will crit 4 crit
P.S. I realize that there may be some flow issues, but I wrote it with a specific rhythm in mind, and it fit perfectly, so don't crit on flow, please and thanx Verse Looking for a new way out as i walk among the pessimists that fill me with doubt and drain me of my dignity Searching for an answer as to why I'm stuck here but only to find more questions as to what i really fear Chorus In the end it all boils down to who has the better car or who has never worn a frown In this world you will never find a country without a bank or a dollar left behind Verse Confronted by my future Haunted by my past looking up at God, hoping this will never last Is it my fault that I cannot seem to find the bits and pieces my conscious left behind Chorus repeats Bridge With the need to compete to lie and deceive to bring about our final day, we'll never find a better way to learn from our mistakes. the mistakes we made yesterday chorus repeats With every step that you take your greed gets real, and your charity, fake Open your eyes to the poverty in a capitolist society Chorus and bridge are sang in rounds continuously and fades away

The first verse had some flow problems, but I liked it, it really got the song introduced. The second part didn't really stand out much and seemed pointless. The chorus had flow problems but I liked it, especially the last line. I also liked the verse afterward, though it was out of place, it flowed really well. The bridge I liked, it flowed decently. The ending seemed kind of forced here, though. I give it a 7.5/10.

wow, i think it's awesome, but there's only 2 problems i have. the first verse doesn't exactly have the best flow, but i do like it. And the second verse, it doesn't really fit with the rest of it. Othere than that it's great, keep it up!

Very very nice, I liked the whole meaning behind the song, I like the last few lines particularly, I won't comment on the flow problems but I would like to hear the eventual song, just out of interest what style of music do you play?
Overall i'd give it 8.5 out of 10 Well done |

Guys, he put in bold and underlined italics that he wants the flow the way it is.
I look for a new way out Walking among the pessimists that fill me with doubt and drain me of my dignity I think that makes the first verse sound better. but all I find is more questions Just splitting hairs.... The bridge is awesome. And its "capitalist" FYI Very nice piece, I like the flow. Even though its unconventional, its pretty good overall. "worn a frown" sounds really good, not sure why. But it does. Sweet job. Haha. As i'm reading this something just came on the news. The United States of America set a world record for money given to charity. The timing is pretty clutch on the anchorman's part. Still nice song. I like this version more. I'm putting up a new poem in a few...if you could crit it I'd appreciate it.

love the message behind it... actually the chorus explicitly spells it out,
![]() second verse was a little vague the verse right before the chorus has very good rhyme and rhythm.. preludes the bridge very well.. my favorite part of the song the bridge works.. i'm sure it fits nicely with your song =D, like the chorus it's clear on the message aand finally the ending.. I thought the last four lines were clever but thats just me =D hehehe closes the song great not much else to say, pretty well written, just needs a few tweaks, the second verse as i already mentioned is a little awkward but other then that you're done! ![]() aand thanks for the crit on "obsession" ![]()
