The Psychology of a culture is revealed and perpetuated in how they relate to and treat their children and in how they relate to and treat the most vulnerable people within their society. Heal that and we can heal everything.
Here is the re-write. I think Ian might have appreciated this re-write. I will never know.
"Woke Up!"
"Woke Up And Make Peace, With Us."
I come awoke
With a gift for Humankind
Some're still asleep
But the gift don't seem to mind
Rise from the oppression
Woke has got your back
Bringing down the bullies
Nurturing your mind....
You look so self-possessed
I won't disturb your rest
It's frightening when you're sleeping
and wide awake is best.
Wake up and make Woke with us,
Woke up and make Peace
Wake up and make Woke today.
I don't want to make you
I'll let the heart take you
And you'll wake up and make WOKE!.
I woke up in the morning,
in a VERY peaceful mood, I know Earth built my home.
and it's very, very good. Air, Rock and Water Sunshine giving light.. I'm woke and awake And I know that WAR is SHITE!
I come awoke
In a thorny morning mood
And have a proper niggle
At the haughty rabid dudes.
Revolt against the bullies
Get them when they lie,
What happens is truth wins,
It's also very goooood.
I'll go and get the info,
And make some tea and toast
You have another sleep, love
It's you that needs woke most
Woke up and make Peace with me
Wake up and make Woke
Woke up and make Peace with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make Woke!
Woke up and make Peace with me
Woke up and make Peace
Woke up and make Peace with us
Woke up and make Peacee (PC, lol!)
Woke up
Woke up
Woke up
Wake up!
-- That's it.... lolz. ~ Some history on the term Culture Wars, as a context to this rewrite..
In American usage, "culture war" may imply a conflict between those values considered traditionalist or conservative and those considered progressive or liberal. This usage originated in the 1920s when urban and rural American values came into closer conflict.
This followed several decades of immigration to the States by people who earlier European immigrants considered 'alien'. It was also a result of the cultural shifts and modernizing trends of the Roaring '20s, culminating in the presidential campaign of Al Smith in 1928.
In subsequent decades during the 20th century, the term was published occasionally in American newspapers...
A wider, deeper context.
If we are to be honest we have to admit that's not just that there are 'culture wars' - is that we live within a War Culture.
'Culture War' is a term the Authoritarian Wealth Extraction Element(AWEE - they are taking the piss) crafted to push back against Critical Race Theory, Feminism, Equity Economics, Environmentalism, Climate Disruption being revealed and a range of other learnings that confront the AWEE with the harms they are causing to people and place, for profit.
The War Culture is waging wars for profit. Russia vs Ukraine, Israel vs Palestine, USUK vs Iraq, NATO vs Afghanistan, NATO vs Libya, NATO vs Syria, Saudi vs Yemen, propaganda abounds as 'truth is the first casualty in war'...
As ever, look towards those pouring funds into the weapon supply for the Culture Wars.
Why are we fighting?
~
Woke is basically the status of consciously, intentionally not being a bully, of desiring de-escalation of conflict leading towards peaceful resolution, of standing on empathy and evidence over sentiment and belief in matters of Governance.
Seems like a good idea.
We workers, parents, students and communities really, really want decent, honest and transparent healthy governance that nurtures all people and our shared environment as a long term sustainable form of social organisation, a system of governance that avoids avoidable harms as it's basic theme - eliminating pollution, environment degradation, waste and wealth extraction, all driven by exploitation.
Kindest regards
