Ready or not, it's time for Feature Voting again. As before, I've chosen works from the folders in the group's gallery that were created by group members. We have some VERY talented artists, which made it a labor (of love) to chose from the ever growing collection of art.

I hope I can count on you to vote vigorously, not just visit, look and leave. I'm sure the artists will appreciate your enthusiasm, and be inspired to become even better artists. It's a great feeling to know your work is being admired, especially when being admired by other talented artists.

For Members, if you would like to have your work Featured on the group's profile page, you may "Donate" 15 points for 1 week or 50 points for 1 month.To donate, goto: melalina.deviantart.com/

So, let's get on with the voting. As always, you may vote for your two favorites. And, if you're one of the artists listed, you may vote for your own work. You may even encourage other deviants from all over dA to vote for you. If you do, ask them to consider becoming members of as well. Voting deadline is November 5.

ENJOY!!

6.   An Unexpected PleasureBeneath the awning
Of the dilapidated pet clinic,
         Uptown, gotham city:
    A man leaning corpse-like
Against a bottle of Night Train.
Though unburdened
By rent bills, electric bills,
Child support or tax bills
    —All the grievous burdens
         Of the modern era—
His soul is overcome
By something unnamable,
         A malaise
         No one can describe;
He stares out into the naked air
With the disposition of a man
    About to commit a crime,
And I wonder …
    What terrible, despairing
    Thought is rattling his nerves?
Then he looks at me and says,
In a soft and gentle tone:
"Would you like a cigarette?"
“Would I
    Like a cigarette?
Yes,” I say, politely,
         Sitting down beside him,
“What an unexpected pleasure.”

11.   Black Lives Matter, An ExplanationThis is also featured in my Afro Cats group! If you saw it there, you don't have to re-read it x3 
Trigger Warning, but you should probably read this anyway. 
You all knew we were going to talk about this eventually. 
I'm going to sit here and I'm going to explain the concept of Black Lives Matter in light of the recent USA shootings. If you have questions, please ask - civilly. 
But before we do that, I want to get some things out of the way as a small disclaimer: I am not in any way dismissing the needs or problems of other minority groups such as LGBTQA, those with mental or physical disabilities, , I am not advocating for the killing of cops, and I am not insinuating that any of you group members are racist, and I am not saying that black people can't be racist. I'm also not saying that issues in countries outside the USA don't matter.  Okay? Okay.
Now, some people prefer to use the hashtag #AllLivesMatter when
