[Negative]

an impending move to colder climes
a way to shake up the system
drain the quagmire
I've been too long staid
stagnate, losing faith . . .
in this hole, opportunity is absent
culture an abstract ideal
anyone with the means goes
or worships to false idols
sniffing lines, spreading gospels
can you even tell the difference anymore?
the church is a spiritual pusher
offering hope, quelling desire
ten percent upfront
yes, I have to escape
I don't listen to demagogues
I quit crushing pills
I have a voice, I want it heard
but here, drowned out by the sermons and sirens
its not feasible
colder climes to bring sunnier days . . .

Wow, very nice work! I especially liked the part above, I can definitely relate.

Although, I must say, I'm living in the suburbs of Minneapolis right now myself and I feel about the same way as you judging from your words here. I'm actually relocating this summer to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Sometimes when changing locations, I think it's the chage itself that is in fact more important than whatever the specific destination may be.

Anyways, you're an excellent writer and I hope Minneapolis treats you well! There's a few other BLers from the area that I know of or have met.
