Woke

Woke

A Poem by Jackie
"

Stay 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

Chopped flow with touch and go notes of positive swirls of negativity... Stay woke to the things around you, sleeping heads get robbed... Great stuff, mate...
