Derek Fenton: ‘Wide Awake’

Wide Awake Beware of the cancel culture vulture— it doesn’t even wait for you to die! Like a compactor waiting to mulch ya’, beware of the cancel culture vulture carving a perfectly PC sculpture. Give it the slightest sniff and you will fry. Beware of the cancel culture vulture— it doesn’t even wait for you to die! A “wake” is a group of feasting vultures. A “woke” is a group of cancel cultures! Derek Fenton
