No Kings

No Kings
Tweaked by their puppet strings

No emperors
Losing their tempers

No dictators
Trying to be crusaders

No disappearances
And prosecutions for interference

No overseas prisons
Except for politicians

No secret police
Patrolling the streets

No masked public servants
Acting as insurgents

No facial recognition
Storing biometric data without permission

No plastic munitions
Used without preconditions

No tear gas
Used to suppress and harass

No curfew
The authorities are still supposed to serve you

No troops on our streets
Under the pretext of a breach of the peace

No martial law
That we all foresaw

No military parades
Feeding into orange charades

No unbridled executive power
A human centipede waiting to devour

No sacking of the public purse
Make the billionaires reimburse

No oligarchs
Instead start quoting Marx

No plutocrats
They are like sewer rats

No Fascism 
Turning the screws on the class system

No Supreme Court
They are brought and paid like an escort

No Freedom
In this fiefdom

No republicans
Who seem to want to go back to Dickens

No democrats
They are like Guildenstern and Rosencrantz

No bill of rights
Not even the highlights

No constitution
Without revolution

No Kings
