social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
Firelight Window
At the top and after the fact, she had delivered a light, I thank you... I switched flavored colors and light. A code was sequenced to be entered into the outstanding department store where I had bounced ten checks. And not residing in favorable weather, I became intense and paranoid, almost paralyzed with time. And the dull moments of a new day were wasting away throughout the bedroom. A start of a shotgun ring throughout my morning had made me get up and run into the light. In realm of sparks it felt like a mellow whisper in a dark cave in my ear that with each tick- tick - rock of the clock.
