Best Woke Poems

I woke up again today
Through the curtain I see the light
Can tell the day will be bright
God decided I could have another day

I've been sick for a long time
Been down and out
Have had many doubts
I have few days left that are mine

It would be easy...

The WOKE CAN ALL TAKE A HIKE

Depressing this year to celebrate the USA nation.
When our flag is dishonored
at the Olympics is a big
sensation!
Causes this poetess tears,
and inner consternation.

Both leadership, multiple  insane groups, treat the USA like dirt.
Burning cities, looting, and
multiple humans, dying or getting...

“...The leftists that you voted for
jacked up the minimum wage,
so new workers like me cannot
get hired, much less get paid.

“And those very same people
ignore foreigners who work cheap,
they can work, and break the law,
But the same can’t be done by me!

“And then the proposed solution
to...

I woke myself up laughing
I couldn't hold it in.
It started with a chuckle..
and it ended with a grin.

Have you ever woke up laughing? 
I mean right out loud and clear? 
I love when my day starts like this
but it's my family's greatest fear.

They know if...

When We Woke, Suddenly Thinking We Had Died And Went To Heaven

O' that aroma, jasmine fragrance from her hair
She virgin goddess I an uninformed young lad
Her beauty was so golden nothing else compares
Thought why the hell not , she mine, I sure ain't that bad
And...

As Dawn Woke, Uttering Its First Shining Rays

As dawn woke, uttering first shining of its rays
Night's darkest veil vanished into whispering winds
Rooster's clear crow, signaling a wonderful day
Full of life, with golden treasures love's truth portends
Bliss a'flowing as our love endures, as we pray.

From soft...

Well the house was rock & rolling,
and the dance floor was pulsating,
I had myself too many drinks,
then drank two or three more.
All the ladies, they were moving,
in tight clothes so scintillating,
one looked so hot I couldn’t think
as we walked out the door…

Then I woke up...

No dispute, we should all love our neighbours
  With a kindness of nature that’s right
And we ought to be generous, favour
  Our excesses, to those in dire plight
But then ‘ought’ becomes ‘must! or we’ll take it’ 
  With imprimatur, hand outs for...

I Lay in bed 
   coffee
      smoke
My dreams didn’t start
till the moment I woke
 
I’ve been awake
  wash
      eat
I dressed for work 
but just couldn’t leave
  
you brush a hand across...

Once I Found, Once I Woke, Once Love Came

Once I found, that darken cave to hide in
Having no true friends to then confide in
I sank each rowboat I took a ride in
Embraced scenes of glory I took pride in 
Created dream realms that I then...

If to be “woke” means to be aware
To have knowledge of hidden truths,
Then we have little reason to beware
For truth becomes our brightest youths.

I know now how little I was informed
[if to be “woke” means to be aware]
About the role of Blacks in our history
And...

It being a holiday, with friends, I went to chill out
In a gregarious company, partying was sheer fun
After a heavy booze, my first-time experience, 
I fell flat, plunging into deep sleep and dreaming away  

In my dream, I sailed away
Over the tame waters of...

it was cold, yet hot,
a fever.
i am surprised,
as though I didn't fill myself with poison
just the night before.
my arm is taped down,
attached to an iv,
four pouches of medication seep into my veins
it burns, 
yet any tears i have left have been taken by my father,
crying...

I woke from a dream
And I looked out the window
As if I’m meant to see, it would seem
Pink clouds floating in blue and sun’s glow

Quickly awakened, by this beautiful sight
Above the fall bare trees that yesterday had ice,
I was lifted from my dreams of the...

A young blond beauty reading an old tale
fell asleep, dreamt
of being
trapped in
a
tall
tower,
to find love 
when some dude climbed
her HAIR! Awake, she muttered, “Stupid dream!”
