How Can I Be a Poet

will this society recognize my poetry as art as such? this society is suffocation how can i write poetry when children are being slaughtered? how can i write poetry when old people are eating dog food? how can i write poetry when girls are being raped? how can i write poetry when innocent people every day, are being sacrificed? how can i be a poet when you impose rules upon what poetry is and what it is not? how can i be a poet when every day on this earth, i think of this day as the last?
