Notes About The Poem

No Kings Day

                            No King’s! Day of defiance
                             Reject authoritarianism tyrants 
                             Billionaire-first politics hypocrisy 
                             Then militarization of the country’s democracy
                             Protests to counter the Army’s 250th anniversary 
                             Trump ratcheted up as a slammiversary
                             As though a wrestler’s match
                             Performing is his big ego and a king’s vanity
                             Ratcheted down is our humanity
                             The show, an expensive lavish military parade 
                             This is very low, designated to degrade 
                             Featuring hundreds of military vehicles, aircraft
                             And thousands of soldiers, resembles a 60’s draft
                             It’s also his 79th birthday and Flag Day
                             The flag doesn’t belong to President Trump, not today!
                             It belongs to us  “No Kings”


On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t 
To say no thrones, no crowns, no kings!


RIP Melissa Hortman
Her assassin (the coward)
“Politically motivated”
cop uniformed
in a bogus cop car
still at large
BECAREFUL PROTESTERS!
<3

Duke Beaufort Date: 6/23/2025 5:12:00 AM Anaya, it was quite a day. Shows a lot of opposition to tyranny in the USA. However, as we know, autocrats like D.T. know how to steal back the spotlight. I think that may be the actual reason we've dropped bombs on another country. It's a publicity stunt. We're in big trouble. Take care and love your poem. Smiles!
