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.

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.

As you try to pass the message paint the picture in their mind. Since these are things happening around them the similes will work pretty well. You can use rhyming words to make your work memorable. Being a writer means you try engaging every person you come across but the bottom line is to ensure the quality of your work remains and show them how you can solve some of these issues.

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.

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.

Look for someone to check your work. The person should be neutral so that they do not pass their judgment from a specific point of view. They will tell you when you are trying to hide the truth and guide you on the best terms to use without sounding harsh. You are the change and the best way to do that as a writer is tell by the issues as they are in the society.

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.
