I am of the Unwoke
I am up
Because I look down
Do you think you’re a victim
Of war or the law or misfortune?
Has disaster struck you like
A flood, a famine, a force of nature?
I can spare you a little of my sympathy if
You share my opinion, religion, skin tone
If you have a job or a life like mine
And if you deviate
Don’t disturb me
Just because you are disturbed
I am up
Because I look down
I am of the Unwoke
Join me
Or wake me
