Satirical poetry has long been a powerful tool for social commentary. From the sharp-tongued verses of Juvenal in ancient Rome to the biting wit of Jonathan Swift and the clever wordplay of Dorothy Parker, satire has been used to expose the hypocrisy and absurdity of those in power and to question societal norms. It is through satire that poets can address uncomfortable truths, challenge the status quo, and provoke thought and discussion.
