My Problem With "Woke" People

My Problem With "Woke" People

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.

"
my problem with 'woke' people. . .
is their diffusion of responsibility 
the firm and constant conviction
that the blame lies always on the outside
and never ever ever on the inside
you can't even wonder
at least never out loud
if it's ever their fault
or even at the very least
if it's all really that simple
you can never ask honestly
   "is this truly injustice?
    or just a tempest in teapot?"  
and maybe sometimes it's not
but maybe sometimes it is
but if you can't even ask it
   without being labeled
   a f*****g racist
   oppressive misogynist pig
   only here to blame the victim
that's the definition of tyranny 
   to me
so that's my problem with 'woke' people
that there's no room for debate
and it's always never their fault
(because they are professional victims)

You cast a wide net of tags on this work. An analytical mind. So, is there room for those who don't fall into those types? Almost more like a litany.
