Woke
You say, “what exactly is woke?”
I’ll tell you the truth, this ain’t no joke.
It’s one side thinking, they’re always right,
and if you disagree, they’ll wanna fight.
It’s being harassed because of your views;
It’s being called, “deplorable” by those of fake news.
It’s being canceled, because you ain’t in the clique;
It’s having your voice muzzled, so you can’t even speak.
It’s getting fired, because of your choice of free speech;
It’s hypocrisy from others, who don’t practice what they preach.
This my friend, this is woke.
I tell you the truth, this ain’t no joke.
