WokeA Poem by JackieStay woke. Stay aware to everything going on around you and effecting you and yours..I stay woke. The silence has been broke It's a dangerous and slippery slope We hardly stay afloat This is not a positive note This is touch and go We won't let this go No. This is not okay What do you expect us to say No! You will not direct us that way No! We are not silent pawns of the game No! We will not be afraid We will not play along quietly Are you insane? The way you make the blood rain In your superior reign with your inferior gain. There is no one else to blame. No other cause for what you have became We are straws and an unwanted stain you wash us all away I stay woke. The silence has been broke It's a dangerous and slippery slope We are hardly staying afloat This is not a positive note This is touch and go We won't let this go We won't let this go We don't hide in shadow Our minds are not shallow We will not be kept in gallows Strewn up. Will not let this doom us, ruin us. Will remain in tune We will not run The truth is our only light When we are consumed by night It keeps us warm, keeps us right There is no excuse, one must choose who's side and who to fight We must'nt fight. We must stay concious Remain honest on this stride We must follow the light stay in it's sight. We must... We must stay woke. The silence has been broke. It's a dangerous and slippery slope We are hardly staying afloat. This is not a positive note This is touch and go We won't. We won't let this go Nov 3rd, 2017 Jackie Gunnin
