Create a poetry that involved social issues.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
On a daily basis, news headlines reveal shocking nuances and dark aspects of society that had previously been camouflaged in as 'normal. Things tend to be much dirtier than they appear on the outside. Social issues are touchy and sensitive. Writing poetry about society is a bit of a double edge sword - poetry is a great medium for voicing opinion, but care needs to be taken in order to incorporate facts rather than myths into the prose. Much of the spoken word poems here are performance poetry pieces, meant to arouse an audience and juxtapose a connection. I hope you will find that connection within one of these slam poems.
