Notes About The Poem
"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
