Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

I once embraced woke '

I once agreed at the arrival of woke.'
I was relieved ( it had caught me up )
I was out in front for so long and had almost
Had lost hope.' But this conscious only
Lasted for a while.' Two decades passed
And i found all there had gone wild.! The
Idea-ology was morphing, yet had no growth.? There were calls to free cabbages
From soil druggery.'  thats just my joke.)
Yet the greens.? Were now rampant we
 see.' To think i
Advised? someone to become one of 
them'
He achieved couincil status..I don't wish
 to think! Look at this pile..Nothing it 
seems can balance at all.' Humans being humans and
Power the thrall..It draws them; awes
 them, and chews them up.' 
To  spit out a
Parody..Yet its still lapped up.? The joke is
Now flowing like sour milk, Clowns
 just love it and there are many of that ilk.' The
Joke is upon us. All owerblown.' Dark and
Dismal upon such a plastic throne.)
