Becoming The Poets Of Resistance

By Kevin Reed


Intelligent people do not carry banners and run to the streets trying to make a change. They use words to pass on a strong message and call for change. It is the only way people in the art world think about having their voices heard. Poets of resistance are people who have dedicated their lives to bring change. They are the ones who will air the grievances of different people.

Writing these words is simple considering the fact that one finds the right words to state what is happening. One thing you have to put into consideration is how to capture the feelings of the affected people. They need to feel like they belong and relate with the art once they read or hear it. They need to connect with the writer and words do it perfectly well.

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.

You cannot be a loner that is why people need to work with others. They will read your work to tell you if there are some issues you have stressed on and the ones you missed discussing. They are the same people who tell you the stanzas that are not flowing. In matters affecting the society the only time you shall see change is if the issue is talked about.

A natural born writer knows how to make words move your heart. The form of art has been used in protests like in Black Lives Matter and Manchester bombings trying to highlight the things that have been so much ignored in the society. When these words are used correctly they bring the change that people are dying to see and that unheard voices can be listened to.
