social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
I AM
we are all paradoxical, contradictions. to be one thing, we have to have the awareness of what it is to be the other. the things we dislike about others are within us. the things we admire about another, that we think we don't possess, are also within us. we are quick to praise, creating imaginary pedestals, putting ourselves down, forgetting that what is there is also here. we are quick to judge, to point fingers, forgetting that the exact thing we are judging and shaming is a position we, too, have once been in.
