Ok so my AP Government class has inspired me. I want submissions that have to do with any political issue. I want the poet to fight for his/her stand on the issue.
I'm not going to judge based on whether I agree with the issue or not, but I am going to judge on how persuasive the poem is, along with how well the poem is written of course. Get me to agree with you.
And if you can get me to change my own personal opinion on a subject.. much kudos to you.
