social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
丹 dān vermillion
I would like to preface this poem as an ode to 'red' and my strained relationship with the colour as someone of mixed British-Chinese heritage. I celebrate its emotional colour spectrum of history, richness, pain and belonging and well as its value and symbolism in Chinese culture.
