social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
Don't tell me to smile
I have been told three times in my life by men to smile while working. First time was as a cashier in a retail store. It was my first job, it was busy, and I wanted the customer to leave the store quickly. So I barely raised my lips and he agreed to pay then left.
