1/30/17 Elisa Chavez: Revenge

This poem has so much influence. I could just imagine her spitting out these words with grievance and irritation about so many different issues that are tearing our country apart. What America is becoming right now is what influenced her to write this poem. People are confused, scared and uncertain about what to do anymore. Although me and others may have different views on these issues, Elisa brings out a feeling in her poem where I was able to connect with her in a sense that our country is going in a scary direction right now. Her writing and words were very tough and showed me that she wasn't just going to sit back about what is going on, she had to be real for a minute and get attention for what she felt was happening.
