Let Us Celebrate No Tyrants Day
“We have no king but Caesar!”
-A long-ago mob as written in St. John 19:15
Even the King of Kings is under the Law
And too, since Magna Carta, our earthly King -
From the people and their voices he can only draw
Such powers as their assemblies vote to bring
But may God protect us from a Common Man
Slithering to supremacy through serpentine speech
Emboldened by the power of cabal, club, and clan
Mobs chanting for their master, a soul-sucking leech
God gives us His grace in a King and Queen
Republics just give us the guillotine
