Putting The Woke To Bed

The Red Wave

By Earl W. PearlPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

The polls began closing, a “Red Wave” has come

A tsunami for fixing what’s wrong

This nation’s disgust for the notions of some

We’ve been prisoners held captive too long

To live as we choose is a God-given right

But some choices have led us astray

So voting our conscience allowed us to fight

In the only way we have a say

“Woke” was the joke that kept claiming “inclusive”

We were “bigots” if we disagreed

Assaulted with views in a manner abusive

Now our voices are suddenly freed

They support and promote things the Bible forbids

In a way that manhandles the truth

They conducted their drag shows to influence kids

In the schools meant for teaching our youth

How can people so “PC” be people aware

Yet offended when called, “He” or “She”

They hijacked our morals and took every dare

Now their “Party’s” been tossed to the sea

Who knows all the notions they had in their head

Their wishes, so many, bizarre

These “woke” are the people that sullied their bed

Because nothing to them is “too far”

They hamstrung our rights and they bridled our tongue

By censoring words we could say

They opened our border, brought new “voters” among

But this tidal wave washed it away

Call it luck or karma, call it God’s will or fate

It’s the woke crying crocodile tears

They’ve threatened to leave cos they’re highly irate

That this wave set them back several years

    BAMM!!! I commend you for your guts, Earl. I am a conservative/moderate voter and a Christian. And we represent more than half of the Unites States. I wish no American any harm, but it was time (way past time) to take a stand. The Bible teaches that after awhile God gives us over to a reprobate mind if we don't turn back to Him. We need to stay on our knees. Not gloating, just grateful. Always enjoy your poems.
