social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
The Crimson Promise
A crimson promise, a promise that states that beyond skin color, gender, preferences, and biases, we are the same. Yet we ignore this promise, fueled by the ignorance of rage and greed. We ignore or hearts, our minds, and our hopes. People say that behind every angry mind there is a saddened soul and a torn heart. Worn by the cruelness of another's harsh words or actions.
