Everything Woke Goes to Sh

 Entering our colleges, Marxist Ideology is taught
Victims; the oppressed they say, actually just little snots
Expecting everything for free, 'cause they are entitled
Reasoning beyond the woke, free speech is tightly bridled
Yet they are pushing their Marxist Critical Race Theory
Take it to the basic level, to school the elementary.
Having no respect for their elders, nor any for our history
Instigating riots, looting, and lawlessness in major cities
Going through the motions of congressional committees

While others get the book, the woke are not convicted
Objections to their talk and actions are restricted
Knocking down our statues, defunding the police
Ensuring that a criminal's freedoms are increased

Group think with no individual space is allowed
Overreach to double speak is the now 'woke' crowd
Extortion they represent; a legend in their own minds
Segregation of the people; no principles do you find

Totalitarian and dictatorships is what they prefer
Over liberty and freedom, all equity is mediocre

Shit is what they are, not just what they do
Hellbent on destroying America, without a clue
Intentional insurgence they parade with pride
To our lethal enemies; weakness they provide.

I would rather sleep than be "Woke". Those who live under socialism want to escape it. Stand strong America. Your poem speaks powerfully.

Some very strong sentiments. You are throwing out terms like "woke" and "crt" as though they are major impediment to equality and the American way.



As an individual who, at 20 years of age, found myself in a new minority where I could be called by the rest of the American population, "cripple," and pitied or being told that I was now, "God blessed," for my "infliction" and joined the poor downtrodden "handicapped" (implying that I was now relegated to primarily Christian charity waiting on the sidewalk with my cap in hand collecting change from Samaritan passersby). Or, abandoned by my family and friends and put in the local institution where I could be with, "my kind of people."



That is the shitload of experience that I've had ever since, even though with a little government money for my rehabilitation, I excelled in college and at work in spite of these kinds of continuing prejudice right up until I gladly retired from all of that and am now, in retirement, totally free of the constant idiocy for my condition and not the value of my character.



Throughout United States history, the leaders and most of the citizens repeatedly committed atrocities towards minorities of all kinds, including those with disabilities, and then buried them in stories like nursery rhymes andnot the truth.



Even the Americans With Disabilities Act, so hard-fought, has not given people with disabilities fair employment based on our abilities. The civil rights movement has not given Blacks and other minorities an equal playing field when they are charged more for basics as part of free enterprise and have a much lesser chance for work opportunity or housing.



I experienced while riding and driving with color, at least 10 times being stopped for no damn reason except being "profiled" with suspicion of wrongdoing that wasn't happening.



The hero worship of slaveowners who tried to keep the country operating with slave labor and then rebelled against the rest of the country by seceding and going to war, do not deserve continued worship by statues. I agree that some of those statues should be placed in museums as examples of the wrong way that history went during Jim Crow, but those statues are an example of injustice continued after it was properly stopped in a bloody war and proclamation.



The 21st century is moving forward, regardless of those who have a single-minded thought that the past is better than the future. I'm all for the future where everyone is created equal and given an equal chance in everything.



Ron
