Hey Strange. +1 here to review as honestly as I can!
I don't know if it's just me not reading into this poem enough, but I felt like by the time it ended, the rhyming was getting forced, and it didn't make much sense. Your last two stanzas particularly enforced my opinion.
Even the beginning, the words just barely rhymed. I'm not one to criticize the non perfection of rhyming, though, so I won't stay on this subject.
The beginning was an attention catcher. You write about an interesting, broad topic, and your approach is original and unique. A conversation between the cynic and the hoper? Very cool approach. However, I felt like they weren't saying much on how society really is, and it was rather loosely put together and forced. I don't know if this was your intention, but by the end I thought the cynic was a kinder person than the hoper, and the hoper was a bit annoying and angry. Good job if it was .
All in all, I would say I would give you roughly 6/10 for a good idea, but (in my opinion) not so great execution. I hope I wasn't too harsh!
Keep writing, Strange!
