Politically Woke
Socrates was known as the wisest man,
Simply by knowing that he knew nothing.
If that is the case,
Let me express my own ignorance:
For I do not know why
we tell our daughters to scream fire
Instead of rape.
For I do not know why
we claim to be the greatest country on Earth
yet turn right around screaming that
we need to make ourselves “great again”.
For I do not know why
we claim to be the melting pot of the world
yet refuse to take others under our wing.
For I do not know why
we still tell our sons and daughters
to love themselves and everyone around them
but if we are to love intimately
to not love that of the same gender.
For I do not know why
we tell children to draw a family tree in kindergarten
yet are not accepting of everyone’s relatives
simply because they were not born
on a specific chunk of land.
I do not know.
