i'm proposing a new holiday
like none other in our nation
to honor those who follow me
down fiery corridors to self immolation
a day to honor citizens
who's lives have been destroyed
by this wicked king who treats us
like we're just his private toys
for the lives that he has decimated
now a memory or bowl of dust
punished by royal edict
for saying what we must
the evils of our wicked king
too much for this summation
my only response left to him
my public self immolation
if you're wondering what it is that makes him tick
this ken who thinks he's king
it's raking in his slumlord profits
while his pockets go "ching ching"
he's had hundreds of opportunities
and at least twice as many days
the onus on me, as it should
to set myself ablaze
true it's not an easy path
but for me this is my calling
the time has come, in noble style, to end this life
no more begging this king, no more crawling
some of the press is spineless, like our king
and when it comes to tv stations
they'll crawl from the woodwork to broadcast live
my public self immolation
i stood my ground and i'm proud of that,
he couldn't make me cower,
but now that all is said and done,
i'll die at kens george howard
offer me no sympathy
shed no tears for me
i must complete this final act
for all the world to see
it's not that this is suicide,
cause i have special powers,
when my flames subside and smoke clears,
i'll walk unscathed from kens george howard
i've no desire to leave my remains
to science and education
i have a duty to destroy whats left
by public self immolation
they've never been around to help me much
and far as i know neither have you
i want my flesh obliterated
so you can't use it too
it's better than cable, better than netflix
so grab a seat and just be patient
my response to this kings malicious prosecution
is my public self immolation
i'd suggest that for our futures
and the generations we leave behind
put this skunk in jail for the rest of his life
please, if you'd be so kind
don't be so serious.
the powers that be like to say my poetry is actually a "to do" list.
if that's the case, why has nothing on my supposed
''to-do " list ever been "to-done?"
WHO'S GOING TO PROSECUTE THE KING?
