Sally Eslinger Poet Free verse

No Kings Day Everyday

No Kings Day      
Everyday


The fear I felt last November
Has 
   Swollen
Like a Hindenberg blimp directly 
Overhead
Seconds from exploding
Time and space back to 1775.  
How
Now sent troops’ marching feet
Bear a din, underscoring beat,
Compelling 
   Alarm
Urgently
To ask, to answer the question:
How might we align
  our democracy against any 
     autocratic      insurrection?

God bless us everyone

Richard Lamoureux July 1, 2025 at 6:14 AM As a Canadian, I am concerned for your country and the world. The President says he has all the cards, unfortunately he lacks the intelligence to play them properly. I pray that God removes the cards from his hands and that Congress has the courage to stand up to him.
