Not My King : A Poem for Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor

 

On wasteful day of decadence
A pantomime of pure delusion
No time for celebration or jubilation
As millions of us suffer in poverty
With all this opulence and gold
It's too sickening to behold
Despite docile culture of servility
The daily media dosage of propaganda
I am not the Crowns obedient servant
I am a citizen! A proud Welsh republican 
Owe neither deference nor allegiance to a king
An archaic representative of privilege and power
Imposed on the people without consent
Who despite inheriting £650m tax free
Can't pay for his own coronation
Amidst the pomp and pageantry
Dazzling displays of obscenity
No stuffing of quiche for the many
Who need a fairer.equal society
God save the people from a monarchy
That stops us from having true democracy
This land no longer needs feudal overlords 
Palaces and thrones of gross immorality
We need an end to this gilded superiority
Time to elect our own  head of state 
And when current folly is no more
A new dawn, a red republic formed 
We will dance around in revelry.
