Poem By: Billy Alsbrooks
___________________________________
Poets at the gate
The people’s voice
You’ve ignored us too long
So there’s no other choice
Freedom of speech
Freedom of expression
Louis the Sixteenth
Don’t forget the lesson
Social media
The modern King George
We declare independence
On the internet floor
If they shun the poetry
We’ll get in our cars
If they ignore the prose
We’ll park in their yards
If they reject the song
We’ll drive through their doors
We’re united now
And ready for war
___________________________________
Cancel the cancel
United we stand
No longer shall the artists
Be censored and banned
Social revolution
Tyrants can’t hide
Can’t hear us from here
Then we’ll come inside
Your fake wars
Your fake flus
Your fake narratives
And fake news
No more no more
No more no more
We’re united now
And ready for war

Silicon Valley
Look out your window
The dollar’s collapsing
Napoleon Crypto
Wind and thunder
We have the numbers
You’re the prey now
Our poems the hunters
Hear us
Fear us
The choice is yours
We’re storming the buildings
And corporate doors
Shall we knock?
Shall we call?
If you ban one of us
You’ve banned us all
Shall we ring?
Here we come
Let’s cancel the cancel
One by one
___________________________________
And all the poets said…
No more no more
No more no more
We won’t be silenced
Or censored anymore
No more no more
No more no more
We’re united now
And ready for war
___________________________________
Now let us bow our heads for those who’ve been cancelled:
Long live the Poetry
Long live the Song
Long live the Artist
And ALL who’ve been wronged
THE REVOLUTION,
WON’T FORGET YOU
THE REVOLUTION,
WON’T FORGET YOU!
Social Fascists…
