social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
Still, We Try
Some days, the weight of the world does not knock politely — it crashes through the door. There are too many loud voices drowning out reason. Too much cruelty disguised as power. Too many systems that bend toward injustice instead of fairness. It feels as though chaos has become routine and compassion, an exception.

MYTHIC SHADOW BLUES. Content Warning.
The Intro: Sometimes the "blue-tinted days" feel heavier than they should. This piece was born from the static and the "long, low moan" of the world outside my window a response to the crooks, the liars, and the systems that try to break our rhythm.
