social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
30 Something
Parade through childhood, Jump from boyish fevers into man-sprung anguished, Billions of imperfections somatic in verse, Crops of fallibility prosper in the sand, A nightmare of wills emulate, A chapter of life, in the atmosphere of Judas, In the size of Neptune, salivate for the ‘Lost Age of Indiscretion’, Rightfully so, long for the absence of bills or the responsibilities that dictate the transition from childish freedoms to adult constraints, A bizarre zombie of accountability, A mute screaming panic, as the ‘submarine of cadence’, descends closer to the darkest of realms, Awake to the inboard sounds of argumentation, Awake, my friend, to the reverberation of 30-something

Cats and Hats
If you've been paying attention at all, you know that a) Hasbro changed the name of the line to Potato Head - they're not taking away your gendered potatoes, and b) the people who actually own the copyrights to Dr. Seuss books made a choice to stop printing six of the hundred or so books, and six of the more obscure ones at that. Neither decision had anything to do with your rights being taken away, neither had anything at all to do with the new and relatively competent federal government in the United States, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something.
