Does writing have the power to enact social change?

I think writing can affect social change because all throughout time leaders and just other people in general have written speeches, poems, etc., to appeal to peoples' minds and emotions about certain topics, in hopes of getting them to agree with what they were talking about. Some writing can be very powerful in the usage of words or details along with fact and opinion and can really affect how a person sees something in the way they already see it or in a new way. In this poem by June Jordan, she is very expressive of the damage the U.S has done to the Middle East, and in truth i really was for nothing and now we have to help in rebuilding. She talked of bombing. Bombing, bombing, bombing, bombing and more bombing. The kind of repetition she used is very influencial because when she taslk about all the bombings and what we actually bombed... we werent aiming for a target...it made it seem like the entire nation was our target and there was no mercy. so can writing have the power to enact social change? Yes, i believe it can definantly change your views about something...anything, even the world we live in and the injustice that people think is so justified.
