Societal Poems - Poems about Societal

Society sure has a lot to say on how middle-aged women should behave. Who dares to sanction that fire still alive inside? In this her fiftieth year, she curses her sex-drive. For she has prayed for years for someone to love, Imposed voluntary abstinence to honour the Man above. Perhaps, she shall marry at sixty-five Until then, the fight continues...

Why do we wait till the very last minute? Is the world not always calling, Yet we don't respond. Does it take a crazy emergency, For us then to see an immediate urgency? Why do we wait till the very last minute... Yes, life happens. But, what does being ignorant do? Yet we don't respond. Just because sorrow isn't always In the light of...

In a world where beauty's confined, To a frame, a shape, so pre-defined. I refuse to bow to discrimination's hand, Refusing to let it define me. No more the shackles of slim and packed, A revolution, where all sizes are backed. Let every size find equal ground, Opportunity for all, in beauty abound. Tired, I am, of body shaming's sting, Stripping away personalities, it's...

Forced diversity has led to a compacted social sedimentation. Another flavor of oppression...for everybody.... this time around. There's a heavy undercurrent of resentment and hatefulness. Tugging souls down to where there's no air-no light -no honor. A few well intended veins are attempting to traverse the compaction. but they're thin- fragile-guilt ridden-unsustainable. Destined to slowly wither or quickly bleed out. If...

Fathers standing tall, can you comprehend? The struggles they face, the wounds they must mend. Frowns breed chaos, let compassion ascend, Boys forced into men, a cycle we must...

Societal Issues & Perilous Times By: Miracle Man 5/20/2021 Today, we are living in a world of chaos, where many are engrossed in driving wedges. Anyone who is different is fair game and racist. Social justice, woke, and Cancel Culture is the narrative. It’s like living in an old class B western movie. Gun sales are skyrocketing, and many conceal carry. We...

Hate and intolerance, wicked evils of the world. Prejudices, biases, and bigotry ran high and rampant - in times of unrest and hardship. Why are some so thoughtless? I realize that hate is not something that is natural to us. From the early beginning of life, that spontaneously sprung into existence. Like a blade of grass appearing unbeknownst in a silent crack on the sidewalk. Back...

I (despite Caucasian visage) plus concomitant anatomical accouterments immediately grant badge of honor and status of greater worthiness, when doggone truth does not merit me automatic immunity against racial profiling nsync, where upon birth said black people unfairly falsely labeled hooligan disproportionately assumed accountable regarding crimes and misdemeanors essentially faulting gregarious person unknowingly caught in crosshairs where twenty first century bounty hunter experiences little or no compassion towards dignified people, whereat...

Ideas implanted, Without my consent. Holding me in contempt, Knowing I need to vent. But I don't know how. So I, Aimlessly prance around, Smile, but wanna frown. Head up, but feeling down. Pretentiously playing a clown. That tension internally, stirring, destructively, creating the beast, nowhere to release, who should I be? Who they want me to be? Emotions,...
