No Kings Today

Save Our Democracy

SEE CREDITS Trusselli Art

I was in the middle of marketing ideas when I had to write about NO KINGS DAY! I have fractures in my spine which keeps me from attending protests. I wrote because I love democracy! Some folks want to say to me "not another one." I LOVE DEMOCRACY!

Values of extreme hate

Values of extreme hate

Values of extreme love

Values of late

Are no king’s shove,

The kings out

To another galaxy

That is what this is about,

No kings in this galaxy

Values of mine

Are kind,

To stand up against kings

That murder values of humanitarian wings

Of love

I am protesting today,

No kings today

No kings in America

The land of the free

That is how it must be.

The people united.

Will never be divided.

No kings today

Not in LA

Not anywhere in America today

Tomorrow & always

Love is for all.

Who stands tall,

Always

No kings

And I sing.
