The system or cistern is broke

Not being woke..the system or cistern is definitely broke


Leaders plunder.. provoke under an asylum seeker cloak

Bleaker bloke masterstroke.. definitively immigrants choke

Poke meeker critics who spoke & weaker skeptics who croak

Cynics cast asunder by the bespoke thunder they evoke 

Stoke the pariah fires as entire empires they revoke

Entire dire elite liar denier cheat quagmire is a complete joke

Which's why broken folk have a smoke.. become a token soak

Smooth what's wrong with a line of coke.. or bong to toke


Because not being woke.. the system or cistern is broke!
