Just because you raise your hand
With your fist firmly clinched
Doesn't make you an activist
Wearing a bandana don't make you a thug and or hood
And saying F the government doesn't make you a rebel
Are you really Woke???

Some people just cannot accept the differences of different ways of others. Good write.
WELCOME FRIEND ~ Thanks for your first poem which is a challenge to the IMAGE we want to portray and the IMPRESSION ~ we want to give. Often TEENS are just "Dedicted Followers of Fashion". I really am a Pacifist and an Encourager (especially of the weak !) I don't wear a long white robe ~ no socks and Jesus Sandals ~ I dress "normal" and try to spread Peace & Encouragement by my actions ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN (UK) Please check my Poems ~ Thanks B.
Nothing we say or do can adequately portray the fullness of who we really are. Well put, Dametre! Welcome.
