No Kings Day opus 803

26 March 2026 1910 Hours Politics, Current Events, History, Law, Psychology, Relationship
What have we come to
That we in our country
Must cry out, 'No Kings'
Repeating our very history
Of opposing George III,
Who treated us with disrespect?
Leaders who think only of themselves,
Lose the confidence of their people
And eventually, are deposed.
Such wasted energy to protest, 
When that energy with a benevolent leader,
Could have been used for productive pursuits
To buoy up society with the positive.
We must keep in mind
The Conservation of Energy
And how we vote, with its consequences.
