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.

The reader needs to paint a picture in the mind of the reader by using fitting similes and metaphors just to keep the reader glued. Do not try to force the rhyme if it is not coming through just let it be. It is the dream of every person to keep their work sounding like a song so that people can remember. As long as the quality is still there do not force it.

Revision is important. The craziest thing about a writer is that things happen every day and everything they look at converts into a story. They want to transform everything they see and fit it into their piece. Write the first draft and keep it for a while. Go back and see if there are changes that need to be made and make them until you feel the work is well done.

In as much as people are looking for creativity sometimes getting all the content from your head can be challenging. Other writers have written on the same. They have talked about all the wrong things happening in their country and are looking forward to airing their grievances. Use their work to give a way forward and you can actually sample from that work.

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.

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.
