The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "We Want Our Country Back" is a strong political commentary that uses vivid imagery and strong language to depict a scene of unrest and division. It addresses the issue of far-right extremism and its impact on society.

The poem could benefit from a more nuanced exploration of its subject matter. While the depiction of the far-right group is clear and strong, the poem could delve deeper into the motivations and fears that drive such groups, providing a more balanced and complex perspective.

The use of explicit language and derogatory terms, while potentially effective in conveying the speaker's anger and disdain, may alienate some readers. Consider using more subtle language to express these sentiments, which could make the poem more accessible to a wider audience.

The rhythm and meter of the poem are somewhat inconsistent, which can disrupt the flow for the reader. Consider revising the poem with a consistent meter in mind, which can help to create a more rhythmic and engaging reading experience.

In the final stanza, the poem introduces a counter-protest, which serves as a beacon of hope amid the chaos. However, this section could be expanded to provide a more detailed picture of this resistance and its impact.

Overall, the poem is a powerful commentary on a timely and important issue. With some revisions, it could offer an even more compelling and nuanced exploration of this topic.

Hello, Sen,
I hope you and yours are safe...

it seems strange that here it is the left committing the violence while there it is the right. Could it be that the political side doesn't matter so much as the character of the leadership

I thought your poem was/is a true reflection of the events that have taken place in the country. I am relieved we no longer have a Conservative Govt who would have used the opportunity to make money or focus blame away from their policies & ideologies and they would tell us how this was someone else's fault.

Now to get to your poem: We Want Our Country Back - you could have played a little with the title like so,
We Want "Are" Country Back? - Gives it more meaning & is commonly used to belittle others intelligence?

I enjoyed the rhyme and the flow and I thought your use of language was accurate and highlighted the tensions we have been left with.
I would have liked a bit more punctuation as the lack of it makes it less appealing when you have a significant message to say.
Overall, an accurate and dramatic piece of work. Well done, Ruby :) xx

Hi Sen, yes great to meet you too & thank you for your feedback on my comments. It's always good to hear if I got it right, wrong or miles away ha ha.
Yes, the decent British people are not racist. I remember the 1980s & how things changed because of the race riots we had. People stood together and put an end to the BNP, even our music was representative of the people of this country.
Take care, Ruby :) xx
