Wokeness
Mar 11, 2023
Freedom of speech is dead-
Wokeness killed her
Shot a gun through her head.
In our societal goal to progress,
Our freedoms are starting to regress
We hide what we think;
We hide what we feel-
Espousing ideologies
That aren’t even real.
Worry of judgement
Haunts us each day.
If we speak our minds,
What will others say?
hidden hate starts to grow;
we feel hidden shame.
We don’t dare speak up
Say society is to blame
We allow banning books;
We script what we say,
Since those who speak up
Are ostracized everyday.
America — The land that was once
The land of the free-
Feels like a woke cage
Where We’re trapped endlessly.
