I’d Rather

I’d rather have King George III back.

He answered to Parliament.

We answered to it, too. It is true.

To those promised to hold his rule in check.

We now answer to Elon Musk,

A privateer, if not a pirate

selling his goods to the highest bidders.

Our enemies cheer him on

With promises of increased wealth.

And our new King Showman

Pretends he rules, taking his share.

Unchecked, unleashed, unaware

He has made war against us all.
