You have some good material here, but it does need work. I think you're rushing your poetry out for submission too quickly. I'd try sitting it aside for a few days, then reading it again, and making a few edits.

Spend some time on this board and you'll pick up some good tips for poetry writing that will help you improve.

Also, watch for phrases like "soul cries for mercy." Cries for mercy is cliché and soul is used way too often in poetry. See if you can find a fresher phrase that gets the same meaning across.
