Woke

Being alert and savvy

Staying woke and in the frame

Keep abreast of issues

A slowly driven game

Playing out political

Strongly posted views

Not expecting government

To print progressive news

Rough justice keeps a lid on

Coercion builds distress

As politicians grin and bear it

With pretension in the mess

As an adjective woke was first recorded in African American usage in the late 19th century, meaning '‘awake, not asleep’'. The contemporary meaning arose in the US during the 1960s, with the idea of being well-informed and aware of what was going on in society. In the 21st century woke was popularized by association with the Black Lives Matter movement and by the lyrics of the 2008 song ‘Master Teacher’ by Erykah Badu, in which the words ‘I stay woke’ serve as a refrain. More recently the word has been used in a more derogatory way, by people who oppose progressive reforms or feel that their advocates are unrealistic or interfering.
