social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
A Message in a Bottle
If I could, I would send this message in a bottle to everyone who feels alone. We live in a world that is ever changing, expanding, and moving in all directions. We're constantly surrounded by others and given little time to unwind. So why, in a fast paced, social media embraced, crowded space do we still feel so alone?
