Play Pretend

You can't rule with an imaginary crown,

we left the real ones on the shelf in Great Britain,

hundreds of years ago.

 

We left to be free,

we the people would love to be free.

 

And yes freedom entails the right to be as you please in some aspects,

but that doesn't mean you get to be king.

 

You can play pretend all you would like,

and you can put on your imaginary crown everyday,

sit in a throne that makes you feel at large,

as long as you do not expect us to play along.

 

We will not be the people who play your game,

we will be the people that have beliefs and passions,

not clones,

or followers,

I will not be brainwashed by the game of politics.

 

So enjoy your time,

Enjoy it before the people rise,

because we will rise,

we will over come.

 

Without needing a paper crown,

or a throne to look out upon.

 

We will rise from where we stand,

As one nation,

Under God,

Indivisible with liberty and justice for All.
