Proudly, we say we're smarter
Boast of our many responsibilities
Yet, we crave to work less and have more
Riding the wave of yesterday's industrious societies
The truth is we're not wiser
We deflect responsibility
Entitled, we stand
Woke? Oh, the irony
Does age bring wisdom?
Today’s youth refuse to wait in line
They deem themselves more intelligent
A sophisticated kind of mind
So they judge
Screaming at the top of their lungs
Virtually canceling you
Piously thinking they’ve won
If they win the battle
They will lose the war
Cornered by their own actions
It's like being in a room with no door
Like a snake eating its own tail
They’ve become what they despise
Be careful what you wish for
Never mistake passionate emotions as being wise
So, when you think you have all the answers
You refer to yourself as caring and great
Let us hope this is part of the process
Perhaps you have to be woke before you awake?
