I hereby open this session of the #Altpoetsociety and submit to you my submission on this the eve of a most momentous occasion in our nation’s history. Please join this #bandofothers in raising your voices to make sure the fascist fucks know there are more of us and we suffer no kings. #Altgov No Kings: Everything is too much And nothing feels like enough But we know our power Our secret weapon We will not be denied We will not relent We believe in we the people And we the people suffer No kings The lies abound And grow bolder by the day But we will expose them Our oath demands the truth We will defy their mendacity We will not worship We believe in we the people And we the people suffer No kings They seek power and control An ugly domination But they misjudged our resolve Our wells run deep Our longing for equality Has no end We believe in we the people And we the people suffer No kings They would drown us with their cruelty Would have us doubt ourselves and each other But we shake with rage not fear Our fire has been lit Only success will burn it out Only liberation will suffice We believe in we the people And we the people suffer No kings The wrecking ball reverberates The sounds and signs of destruction ding, ringing But we are ready to burn it all down Our resistance is our hope We cannot press undo The only thing we can do is rebuild We believe in we the people And we the people suffer No kings They can only see the world in black and white They have evil in their bones But we hold light and color Our fabric woven of love and pride We are not going away Evolution will trample your perversion We believe in we the people And we the people suffer No kings
