Howl by Allen Ginsberg is my number one recommendation:
(just search it up to find it, it's free to access and everything)

- it's a poem so finding quotes and techniques are super easy
- it's written at almost the same time critiquing the same failing social structure
- it made me cry.... so you know

(it might be hard to understand for some people but because it's such a well recognised poem there are lots of resources to draw from in understanding it including this line by line analysis that also identifies context, themes and all that good stuff: search: Owlcation Analysis of Poem Howl by Allen Ginsberg Andrew Spacey)

This poem made me fall in love with poetry aaannnndddd get 24/25 on my English Adv multimodal.
