Notes About The Poem
AI Overview
"Woke" is a term that has evolved from its origins in African American Vernacular English to become a widely used, and often contested, term. Initially, it meant being aware of racial prejudice and discrimination, but it has expanded to encompass a broader awareness of social injustices like sexism and LGBTQ+ rights. However, it has also become a politically charged term, with conservatives often using it negatively to criticize what they see as excessive social justice activism. 

Dogma Enigma

Dogma Enigma

When the pedophile is god
and genocide is good 
when caring for the other
is a never not a should
when race is a weapon
and gender is revoked
when science is blasphemy
and climate change a hoax

Resist the urge to reason
you will just be labelled woke

Thank you my dear Scorpio. I can only imagine what it is like living through it, I hope that you and your community are keeping safe (assuming you’re in the USA). This little canuck is stunned by what is happening. Hugs xomo

Maureen, this is wise and gets to the point that we have a problem with our priorities. We know that many politicians can target others for personal promotion. Those with any sense of history have seen this before in many different forms. I'm making this a fave. Smiles!!

When Sen. Sanders was cheated out of the Democrat's pres. nomination, I saw a photo of a vehicle with a placard in the back window having three choices with check-mark boxes before each reading: "Democrat", "Republican" and "Awake". My favorite Twitter signature was: #democratsRrepublicans. ~ "Oligarchy" - rule by the rich has succeeded.

'Christian America' needs to be reminded of the "Antithetical" nature of "Capitalism" (referred to in the Bible as: "Mammon") to an individuals' "Spiritual Economy"; "Power-Forms" that Target the "Hand" and "Heart" respectively. ~ Marx' theory of the inevitable socioeconomic conflict arising from that disparity is yet to be realized, in spite of the 'Right-Wing's claim of its demise. ~ The Bolsheviks failed. The Mensheviks (see the theoretical difference) will now continue the global Revolution!

It’s an Oiligarchy! Sanders would have been nice, judging from everything I have heard from him. I’m canadian, trying to stay awake here meant losing the federal NewDemocrats, couldn’t split this vote! Our “governor” seems to be holding so far ;),

Writing right now is purely a coping mechanism, it’s never planned. Just letting my muse rip, I certainly wasn’t expecting any comments. Thank you Jeff! xomo
