Of Waste

[21Words]

I disagree with the others, I think the poem isn't a total waste. It has good lines and ideas sprinkled throughout, but overall I agree that it falls flat. That said,:

Can you not taste,
The carnivorous waste? I would change waste here to wastes. Makes it less sing-songy, and helps to paint a better picture of an larger expanse of waste, and can even imply a wasteland.
 
Cars burning, I originally read this as "Cats burning", and honestly liked that line better. Who cares if cars burn? I get that you are trying to show us a scene of carnage and unrest like when protesters burn cars, but I think the imagery of a cat being burned works better by showing why the people are yearning (for a change)
People yearning,
Freedoms granted, I would change freedoms to freedom, flows better
On views slanted. Don't like this line, primarily because it doesn't sound very good but also it loses me on what you are trying to say. Maybe change it to something about the powers that be recanting something? "yada yada...recanted" Just a thought
 
Cons lie, I don't like this entire stanza, doesn't sound very good, is a bit cliche, and doesn't really give me any more meaning.
Hope dies, 
Perfect screams,
Endless schemes,
 
Those bullets ring, "The bullets ring / While masses sing" would work better
These masses sing,
The marching on, Now that I'm into it I feel like I'm ripping the whole poem all apart, but again these two lines don't work for me at all.
Of faithless pawns. Although I do like to idea of "faithless pawns". I believe another commenter pointed out that it doesn't make sense, but I'd argued that's exactly why it's good. Pawns are commonly seen as things/people who don't think for themselves and rather have put their entire faith into a stronger force, but this line makes me picture someone who doesn't believe in those stronger forces, but does what they want them to do anyway, in a lifeless, go with the flow and don't ever think for yourself kind of way. Rework the 3rd line and it still might work here.

A switch flipped, Sorry, all 4 of these lines feel forced and unnecessary 
A moral skipped,
The ravished scenes,
And weakened dreams.
 
Bridges aflame, I think I get what you're going for here, but I don't think it works. The parts I like about this poem are the ones that are broad and can be applied to many aspects of life. It seem here like you're trying to show that like a bomb has been dropped maybe? I like some of the stuff earlier that speaks to revolution and discontent, but this switches and fingers stuff is too specific
Fingered blame,
Hearts weep,
Illusions leap.
 
For vice they cry,
For rebirth they die, Don't care for the other three, but I think this line is excellent. It has religious implications in that people choose to die in hopes of finding a better life on the other side, in heaven or reborn or what have you, and also says that people willing give their lives for a cause in hopes that things will be better for their sacrifice.
Deserted command,
Vindication stands. 
 
Scorched lands, Again, no to all 4.
Jilted hands.
Bloodied earth,
Twisted mirth,
 
Can you now taste, I like the mirroring "not" at the beginning with "now" here.
Our carnivorous wastes?

Honestly, I don't mean any disrespect, but this would have gotten a lot better reception in the mild or just for fun forums. You've got some good lines and ideas peppered throughout, but the cadence and the rhythm and the editing just aren't there for me.
