When did our country become a monarchy?
When did it become an autocracy?
We vote, yes
But this new ruler
This new president
This new king
He’s broken law after law
Stripped away peoples rights
Done things no ruler should do
He’s not a president
He’s a king
A dictator
And now our country is an autocracy.
Posted in response to the challenge Autocracy.
I always try to be sunshine.
Happiness incarnate.
Funny and easygoing.
Helping my friends feel good.
Making sure nobody worries about me.
But sometimes I just want to escape it.
I wish I was underwater, my thoughts drowned out by silence.
The world above me muted.
The water cooling my skin.
Surrounded by that velvety liquid we call water.
That miracle.
Oh, how I wish I were underwater.
Girls in fairy tales, are always saved.
Why? Why can't they save themselves?
Why does Cinderella have to marry a prince to get out of her stepfamily's grasp?
Why do Sleeping Beauty and Snow White need a prince to wake them?
