No Kings Protest Everyday

For democracy to succeed
Every day must be a
No Kings Day protest
We thought kings
Were a thing of ancient history
But they tricked us all

Didn’t go quietly into the pages
Of history, as we’d hoped
Merely changed from robes
To business suits and
Titles from king to
CEO

Every day must be
A refusal to bend the knee
Kiss the ring; suffer
Searing indignation at their hands
The nuevo kings and their
Knights in black or camo Kevlar

The best way to intervene in
Their schemes is a properly
Planned and executed general strike
That hurts their pocketbooks
The only vulnerability
Of the nuevo ‘nobility’
