The "Green" community, the enviro people, are preoccupied with running all the cars differently. Our techno-grandiosity has us gibbering about high-speed rail - which we don't have the capital for anymore - but nobody is interested in repairing the existing rail system, which would be far less costly and hugely beneficial for us. In short, we are acting cluelessly. And life is tragic. The clueless usually suffer.

We seem to be committing ourselves to an eye wateringly expensive railroad for the few. High speed rail plan is madness.
We are also ignoring and underfunding high speed rail which is one of the best ways to move citizens and improve congestion on our highways.
Can poetry be a form of social change? I don't know the answer to that. I do think art can have a social impact even if it may be difficult to see the effects of that impact, to assess or measure it.
