Forgive me for this feedback but I am rusty. I don't exactly know what this is about because it all seems to be woven in a way that's so universal that there's nothing that particularly stands out from the chessboard. The writing is good, the devices and the rhyming are good. What differentiates it from other work of this caliber is what escapes me at the moment. For example, the title is Illuminatus so you are relaying a message of a conspiratorial nature, a biopic, or an intricate summary of what you think it's all about. This could even be a declaration from those who are a part of it themselves. I don't know, I'm not overly fond of this for these reasons. This has a "one mood/theme fits all" approach rather than a distinct flavor, or a series of flavors. It struck me like a museum exhibit stripped of its genuinely intriguing individual traits, and fitted to a more plastic frame. Telling a story with language without telling a story: drainage, with merited flow. Just my thoughts on this one, Nigma. One thing is for sure - you are a good writer with a lot to offer on these forums.

Keep doing you
