social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
Trigger Warning
I used to be pro-life. Or at least that’s what I called it. I thought I believed it out of love. I thought “Abortion is murder” and believed my god above was proud. I wasn’t loud. I was quiet in my condemnation of the crowd of sinners who used the left-wing media to push their gay agenda. Trying to steal god from our country and constitution. Trying to open closed borders to criminals. Trying to take my rights away. I would say “Bad guys will still get guns.” and “we should not give assistance to the lazy.” It’s all hazy now. I used to sit in my pew and think “I won’t let them brainwash me” as the words of pedophiles and hypocrites put me into a right-wing trance. I believed I was superior.
