Poetry Is A Tool Poem by Ravi Kopra

Poetry is a tool for disruption and creation and is necessary for generations of humans to know who they are and who they are becoming in the wave map of history.

—Joy Harjo, Academy of American Poets Chancellor (2019-)

Poetry, a tool of
disruption, connetion, creation
acorss generations

Tells us
who we were, are
and will be in the future

Tells us truth
like scientists, like philosphers
unlike politicians, theologians.
