 I remember a time when I saw someone being treated unfairly, and it didn’t sit right with me at all. The person wasn’t doing anything wrong, but they were still singled out and spoken to in a way that felt disrespectful. Watching that happen made me feel angry, sad, and even a little helpless, the same kinds of emotions often expressed in poems about injustice and empathy. It reminded me how important it is to pay attention to what others are going through and to speak up when something isn’t right. Moments like that connect to poetry because both show how deeply unfairness can affect people and how compassion can push us toward change.
