social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
Tired
People ask you, “what’s wrong”? And you respond that you’re “just tired”. You wonder are you really tired? Or is something else on you’re mind? Stress builds as we sink. The first place we sink is into our beds because “we’re tired”. We are tired. Everyone is. We may not know what particular thing is making somebody tired, but it’s not always physical tiredness. Sometimes it’s emotional and we’re too tired to explain why we’re tired. This is why we must show kindness to all people. We don’t know what they are tired from. We can relate as we are also tired. Call a friend and lay in bed and be tired together. It could be the thing that wakes you both up a little bit.
