All of us belong to a greater whole, and whether you call it society or civilization or country, it has a deep and profound impact on our lives. Some seek to escape it. Some to embrace it. All of us, though, should seek to understand it.

| Poems on Society continued | Author |
| Just One In 10,000 | Kit McCallum |
| As companies and corporations grow larger and more impersonal, they impact more and more lives. This poem is about the little people who work for them. Or those that, perhaps, once did? | |
| One To Blame | Angel |
| Child abuse is one of those sad crimes where the victim is often made to feel as if to blame. | |
| Just Being Me |
Elsa Nora |
| Homosexuality has existed since the dawn of recorded history. It shouldn't be a dirty word, and it shouldn't inspire hatred and fear. | |
| A Fantasy World | Nicole George |
| Our civilization isn't always pretty. But could it be? | |
| Victims | Lisa Roberts |
| This poignant poem speaks a simple Truth - we must help those who need it, or risk becoming one of those who need. | |
| Warning | Sharon Rotondi |
| If the world we live upon could speak to you, could mouth dire warnings of retribution to come - would you listen then? | |
| Juvenile Names | Shayla Campos |
| This poem is about racism in our society. But, more, it's about the pain of a child growing up under its dark banner of hate. | |
| Girl At The Train Station | Rachael Harris |
| We sometimes see things in life, sad things, unimaginable things, things that are very difficult to understand. | |
| Bang, bang | Renee Towns |
| Even once would be too often, but the Truth of this short poem happens far too frequently in our society. | |
| Ethereal | Philip Zemler |
| Drinking and driving causes too many deaths in our society. But what would it be like to see that useless loss through the eyes of one who has experienced it? | |
| World Peace | Andrea Hill |
| The world isn't always what we would like it to be, but that doesn't mean we can't imagine. For, seeing a Truth is the first step towards achieving it… | |
| My Dearest Drug Friend |
Heather Lank |
| This poem is, very simply, a plea. It's one that thousands of friends make every day, often in frustration, always in pain, sometimes in vain. | |
| Walk In The Night | Evalyn Rose |
| Maybe it's human nature, a part of our genetic heritage, to be frightened by the dark. But it's equally true that such fears are reinforced by a society where few can feel safe… | |
| Sun Sets In The City | Peter Hughes |
| Big cities have a character, a personality, just like people do. And there are certain times of the day when those characters become more evident than at others… | |
| e | William Bough |
| Listen to the rhythm of this poem, as you read the sometimes bitter words, and learn how a talented poet can bring Life even to subjects like drugs and death. | |
| Isn't It Time? | Katy Christina |
| This poem is about hatred. But, much more than that, it's about Love… | |
| Lost Not Found | Wendy LaTulippe |
| What is it like to be a woman in today's society? | |
| Deshumanized (Comfort) | Edilberto González-Trejos |
| To one born in the country, the City can be a different world. | |
| Robbed | LaTiefa Alston |
| Metaphors can sometimes make the job of explaining the impossible possible. What's it like to be robbed? | |
| Moving | S. Selina Jamil |
| The author suggested we needed a category on Multicultural issues. Maybe. But the author might be surprised to discover this is a very common feeling for those who live - and travel - within their own country. | |
| The Fire | Jeremy Redinger |
| If drugs are a part of life, they are also very much a part of death. Usually, as in this story, too much a part of death. | |
| Clones | Edward Racey |
| When a society has problems, it's a poet's duty to warn us of them. Whether you agree with the author, or not, you'll certainly find some insghtful - and very clever - thoughts herein. | |
| Blend | Edward Racey |
| The hard truth of a world that only sees in BLACK and WHITE. | |
| No Tomorrow |
Angel Towe |
| This poem is about abortion. You may agree or disagree with the author's sentiments, but you'll certainly appreciate his sincerity. And, I think, his eloquence. | |
| Serenade of the Sirens |
Poet deVine |
| This poem is about life in the fast lane. | |
| Devilshon | Ron Carnell |
| Sometimes war is so horrific the only way we can talk about it is in terms of horror. | |
| Listen To The Sounds Of Vietnam | Ron Carnell |
| The title describes an old poem, about an old experience, that - to this day - still effects much of the way I live my life. | |
| The Horrible Things I Did | Ron Carnell |
| Is Death a suitable topic for a forum about Life? Or is this poem really just an unintentional metaphor for the way men and Mankind matures? | |
|
We just couldn't fit them all on one page. The Best is yet to come...
