On the 1st of a Month,
Companies want to act “woke”
“Happy Pride!”, “BLM!”
It’s a joke!
They do it for profit, for years they never spoke
They want to make themselves feel better
But their egos just want to be stroked
They “accept” us in June & February
But when we call them out the rest of the year
They panic and get scary
Companies wave pride flags
Pretend there is no homophobia
But, come July 1st, they go back to Dystopia
In February We Say “Happy Black History”
But when March 1st comes, racial equality is history
In March We celebrate women
By April 1st it’s “good riddance”
In June We wave the rainbow flag
By July, you go back to throwing the flag in a bag
Welcome Back to Dystopia!
Where we still oppress anyone not a straight, white male
Where companies/corporations do the bare minimal
Ignore their bias and try to derail
You don’t care about diversity
You care about profit
You want to see how much influence
How much money you get off of it
You pretend to care for a month
And feel “it’s enough”
Then go back to not seeing
That the oppress still have it rough!
So when I look at you waving a multi-color flag
I don’t take you serious; it’s a joke
We will soon go back to Dystopia
Bet you are glad you’re done being “woke”
