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.

I can’t believe we call this a Democracy.
We voted, sure.
But did we really end up with a president?
Or do we now have a king?
Sure, his term is said to end in four years.
We stood up to a tyrant once.
And now it’s time to again.
We need to stand up for the rights we were supposed to get so long ago.
“All men are created equal.”
The people around me, my friends, my family, my peers.
I see them every day, barely talk to most of them.
But they are my community.
They know me, or parts of me.
