I’m also a big fan of open mic poetry. So when I find a gem like this, that so richly presents sociological insights through poetry, I just have to share.
I discovered this gem within a gem. Namely, the website upworthy.com. If you’ve never been there, it’s an absolute must visit.
Here is Adam Falkner’s The Definition of Privilege
