This article analyzes how the terms resistance, hunger, social inequality and social exclusion are represented in the poems “The dirty bomb” and “A northeastern”, by Ferreira Gullar. Social poetry is a branch of literature studies that deals with political and social themes, exposing issues related to injustices or abuses of power in a society. The poems analyzed denounce the exploitation of the Brazilian population who are denied fundamental rights, the silencing of society and the lack of public policies in less favored regions. Thus, the analytical method was given through the contribution of the authors: Paz (1956), Candido (1965), Adorno (1973) and Bosi (2002).
