Wow, I love it!
I especially like how you've juxtaposed powerful and sharp language such as 'die' and 'thorn' with calmer language such as 'peace', 'sky' and 'clean'. There's such a lot in the poem, and unheard mesage, a plea to humanity to listen... no matter how hard you try, no-one ever hears you...
That's the impression I get, anyway. I also think that your ending, finishing with 'me' pulls in the reader by making the poem personal. You skillfully use different verbs, according to each stanza's mood. The imperitive of 'be a man' and the plea of 'listens'. Both ask the reader to do something, but in different ways...
You should try and get it published, because it's so evocative. Perhaps you'll be payed ... you deserve it!
