Are you woke
Or still asleep?
Or is the question
Much too deep?
Cos I don’t hear
A single peep
When you’re being
Led like sheep

Are you woke?
Know what I mean?
From your mouth
The word’s obscene
Though you think
It’s peachy keen
But have you been
Where I’ve been

Are you woke?
I thought I’d ask
You wear the word
Like a face mask
Is sincerity
Too hard a task?
Or do you need
To be placed on blast

Are you woke?
Is the question
Somewhere in this
There’s a lesson
Or perhaps
An unfound blessing
It’s the former
That I’m addressing
