TRANSFER: (for “Coup De Grace”)
The poem Coup de Grace by Noel Moratilla has shown us how poems can
also be powerful in relaying strong feelings and messages relevant to a social issue.
This poem was first published in 2013, but the message still rings true to this day.

As we try to further interpret the poem, think of a social issue that our country
faces today and discuss how the poem is relevant to it. Explain comprehensively.
