to be woke
we burden
ourselves by caring,
by serving
others, while
apathetic morons quell
all hope in the dream

So true. And magnificent sunsets are lost on them to. Onward and out in a blaze of glory, I say. 😉

There is so much going on in the political arena that this Shadorma fits so well with. I’m getting disgusted it with all. I think your poetic message says it all. Well done!! ❤
