Becoming The Poets Of Resistance

By Kevin Reed


Writing is an art that can be used to transform the word. The words used can help in changing the world. They highlight the injustices happening and try calling for change. It is pretty easy to be a part of poets of resistance. It is not a group that is formed somewhere with people meeting occasionally. No matter where you are from your voice can be heard.

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.

Avoid using common words. It is a form of writing that works against the message you are trying to pass. You want to empower people and show them that you are fighting the war together. These words will not help them feel like part of the resilience. It makes them feel detached from the message you were trying to pass so show 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.
