What an amazing piece of work. Everything came together so well, and I loved the theme. Your voice worked perfectly with the rhythm. My favorite part was the subtly quickening tempo at the end, along with these lines themselves:

All the while, I feel the backdraft
of a thousand thinkers,
all drinking from hope’s chalice,
all drowning in struggles,
all winding the cogs,
all setting alarms,
all building ideas like charms,

Such great metaphors, the idea of ideas as charms constantly being crafted within the collective "us". Beautiful.
