social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
“A Poem”
"If he write you a sonnet he must really love you," she said out of nowhere. Pencils, pastels, erasers and white pages were all scattered around us. Magazines, books and leaflets were laying in between us, opened, one on top of the other. And the hallway of the residential block was empty, if not for the two of us. The pavement was cold, even though warm spring rays of sun were caressing our faces. Outside the window the sky was clear. Soft, cotton-like clouds drifted lazily on its surface.
