Woke, what does it mean? You call everything woke with which you disagree Having blue hair or boys over for tea Though you turn your head away from real atrocities Small bodies in cots, bellies distended from rot Young black men in the streets out there getting shot Women carrying babies with no hope of life Yet you call this "woke" and claim your own strife If your eyes were to open and you were to see Maybe you'd be awoken, woke just like me.
I'm terribly tired of this word, and its use. I thought I'd make it into a poem instead.
