GOOD PEOPLE

 

A simple message to begin Pride Month (and every day)

It works for families, strangers and friends…


Good people do good things for other people


It’s where this message begins.

and where this message ends.

PROUD TO BE WOKE

 

I consider myself woke….to me…woke means love…

I wear the woke badge proudly…I slip love on like a glove.


To be woke is to believe that love can find its way

into the life of everyone on Earth…

whether straight, bi, transgender, lesbian…or gay.


To be woke is to believe love does not discriminate 

whether one is male or female…young or old…overweight or thin…

Woke does not care what religion one believes or the color of their skin.


To be woke is to believe everyone is equal… 

It understands everyone is our sister or our brother.

Woke means never putting any person higher or above another.


Woke teaches acceptance, hope and generosity

principles on which to live…

Woke believes it is not how much we can take from life…

but how much we give.


To be woke is to accept and welcome everyone with open arms…

To help everyone get ahead…

To ensure every person in the world is clothed and housed and fed.


Woke means understanding how most people in the world abhor war

and wold love for wars to cease…

It understands most mothers and fathers want their children

to live in a world of joy and peace.


To be woke is a wonderful feeling…as valuable as the most precious jewel

But lately some politicians and their followers use this word 

to disparage, defame and ridicule.


And so I hope and pray…everybody who misconstrues woke this way

this feeling you will quell…

that you will wake up from the dark cloud that engulfs you…

and become woke as well.


And once you enter the cloud of wokeness…

from inside here you’ll see

woke is not only a beautiful thing

but a wonderful place to be.
