Becoming The Poets Of Resistance

By Kevin Reed


There is so much power that is contained in words. People in the art world are the voices who can pass on the message to the government. It is the art that highlights all the wrong things happening in the world. Poets of resistance are a representation of the injustices happening and trying calling for change. It is something that comes naturally to most people.

When putting down this form of art things are quite simple since everything you write about is happening around. The person reading it should feel the connection and connect with the issues highlighted in the art. Express your words putting yourself in the shoes of the person experiencing these issues firsthand if you want to pass the message clearly.

What your readers want to see is creativity and if you use the usual words people will not complete reading it. The message you want to pass needs to show that you want to see change. Show the people that you are with them so that you can fight together. If you want them to understand the deeper meaning of your work be creative.

Paint a picture in the mind of a reader. These are words and you need to be sure they capture all their senses. They should be there with you and actually they are since these are things happening around them. Do not just write them try showing them how these issues are up the society and how these issues can be solved urgently.

Being a writer means that crazy ideas come to you every time you hear something. The fact that you are writing about issues that affect people on daily basis means that stories will change. If there is something that needs to be added you have to keep it for days before doing the corrections. That way important details cannot be missed.

Since there are other people who have written on this topic look for some of the best pieces online to be your samples. They give ideas on some of the best formats to use. Write with precaution putting into consideration that the words you use have strong meaning to the people. Make internet your friend if you are looking for guidelines.

Get someone to critic your work. They should tell you if you have fully stretched the truth or if there are things that you have sugarcoated. The point is to tell the truth at all cost so if you can go through each stanza with them you will figure out the parts that might not be working. Let it talk to all people no matter their stand when it comes to the issues you are highlighting.

When people can write about an issue that has been ignored for some time the government takes charge. As long as words are well chosen they will talk about the inhumane things happening in the world. It was through these words that people of Manchester used to call for change after terrorism acts. Words can be used in that moment people want to see political changes.
