Everything has already been said, but I think people are being too harsh on Cereal. His verse was dope: a very nice approach to the topic (especially with that unique scheme of ab, ab rhyming). I actually enjoyed your verse a lot, it was very poetic and full of imagery. My complaint with your verse though was the ending. It was poorly worded and not a very BIG twist. Surface took advantage of that, and dropped a bombshell, like these lines:

Very good imagery. A somewhat unoriginal ending, but the way you built up the piece made it a perfect fit as the closer.
Enjoyable battle.
