Article voiceover
Wake Up! Get out, Put it down, Turn it off, Turn yourself on, Wake Up! It’s happening right now, Here with you, With me, With the world, Wake Up! Feel it moving, Feel it getting away from you, Wake Up! There is no conspiracy, There is no agenda, There is no enemy, There is no catch, Wake Up! Feel each other’s skin, Hold each other, Look each other in the eye, Shout at each other, Scream, Laugh, Cry, Wake Up! You are not alone, You are not lost, You are not in need; Of that cure Of this hack, Of those things, Wake Up! Get out of that hole, Scroll hole, Worry hole, Fear hole, Theories told Wake Up! The world is changing, Right now, In senates And parliaments, And offices, Where decisions And disasters Will come and go Without you, So, Wake Up! Put down your devices, Your vices, Your midlife crises Found on the ‘gram, On the can, On the palm of your hand, Wake Up! And vote, Take a stand, Lend a hand, Be here without reason, Be here to live And breathe And, Wake Up! And hurt, And rage, And react, And lash, And care, That we’re, Hurting, Collapsing, Burning, Freezing, Drowning, Exploding, Multiplying, Dying In our sleep, Wake Up! Do you know; Where you are? What you are doing? Why you are here? How it’s been going? Wake Up! The lights have gone green, Nobody is moving, All on our screens, Appalled by the scenes, Of the wars, And the climate, And the traffic, Haven’t you seen!? It’s backed up for miles! Haven’t they seen the lights have gone green!? Wake Up! Your house is burning! Wake Up! Your dreams are over! Wake Up! The world is turning! Wake Up! It’s moving on! Wake Up! And scrape the dirt, And dig in with your hands, And fill up your nails, And let it fall from your palms, And smell the scent of the soil And the shit, And the toil, And, Wake Up! And take a leap Into the deep cold, Till its takes a grip, Of your chest, And your heart, And your mind, And, Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up!

Thank you so much for reading my work. It means a huge amount to me to have even 1 minute of your time, let alone the attention needed to read and understand these words. If you like what you see tell other people about it - it is the absolute best way to support me and my work and I would appreciate it hugely.
