A poem to the one who thought he might be ‘woke’. In a way, from the perspective of spiritual awakening, being ‘woke’ is a a bit of a joke. Maybe it was slightly harsh but it was what I needed to hear at the time.
One day you’ll wake up
And you’ll be dead
There’ll be no more noise
rattling around in your head
so Stop trying to wake up
It’ll mean your demise
When your spirit finally does
You’ll be done with the lies
For now you may ‘think’
That you’re oh — so — ‘woke’
But you know in your heart
that it’s only a joke
