Protest Poetry<br />

Protest <strong>poetry</strong> is <strong>poetry</strong> that focuses on an issue in the world<br />

and criticizes its injustice. The <strong>poetry</strong> can be in any form and<br />

can address a social, environmental, economic or political<br />

problem. Protest poets aim to highlight the flaws in the issue<br />

and stand up for what they believe in. Protest <strong>poetry</strong> is<br />

associated with the disagreement and criticism of authoritative<br />

figures, rules or decisions but can be used as a medium to<br />

<strong>protest</strong> any event, place, object or person.
