RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
The King’s Speech
I am no fan of royalty
British or any other kind
Yet do not question my loyalty
When I say he spoke my mind
He took issue with our president
Without mentioning his name
His message was a testament
To the president’s great shame
He warned of too much power
In the hands of just one man
He spoke to the day and hour
As much as any royal can
He defended our democracy
From Magna Carta to the Bill of Rights
He condemned every theocracy
Beware the Christian right
He defended the great alliance
That was born after the War
He spoke with the bold defiance
Of a man from a distant shore
(Charles III speaks to Congress
28 April 2026.)
