“We are One”

Social issues, like tangled webs,

Are woven tight, without a thread
Of separation or divide,
A knot of problems to untie.

Injustice, poverty, and hate

Are intertwined, inextricably, fate
Bound up in one another’s plight,
A fight for freedom, day and night.

The threads of life are intertwined,

From race to class to gender’s bind,
A tapestry of pain and need,
A call for justice, to be freed.

The poverty of one begets

The hunger of another set,
And violence, it takes its toll
On every soul, we are one whole.

We cannot solve just one, it’s true,

Without addressing the other few,
Intersectionality, it’s clear,
A call for change, we need to hear.

So let us weave a brighter day,

Together, let us pave the way,
For equity, and justice too,
For we are one, and so are you.
 “The Controversy of Social Issues”

In this world, there’s much to see,

From poverty to inequality,
And every problem we face,
Brings its own set of debates.

Controversy, it does surround,

Every social issue that can be found,
From politics to human rights,
It’s a battle to make things right.

Inequality, it’s a hot topic,

From gender to race and economic,
People stand up for what they believe,
As the controversy does not leave.

Even in the smallest of issues,

Controversy can lead to new views,
To open up our eyes and see,
The different sides that can be.

We must listen to each other’s thoughts,

Even if they are not what we thought,
For the controversy we face,
Can lead to a better human race.

We must embrace the different views,

To find common ground and pursue,
The solutions that can bring change,
And move us towards a better age.

So let the controversy rage on,

For in it we can find a new dawn,
Where social issues are resolved,
And harmony is our ultimate goal.
