Reading 14 - The Divine Right of Kings 
The Divine Right of Kings
 

 
Here! 
Sonnetless verse, 
Unversed verse, 
Unrehearsed verse, 
Verse in b-flat minor, 
Verse outside a key; 
WE the bright burning youth, 
RISE UP ! 
And smash their shiny-metal chains! 
 
Here! 
Innocent youth, 
Youthful gaze, 
Youth amazed, 
Clear - our eyes assure; 
WE the passionate compassionate youth, 
RISE UP ! 
Alive! On the rainbow-clad barricades! 
 
Snap-shot, snap-shock, out through clouds, 
Air whistles - feelings fracture; 
I’m free as wildfire! 
Shocking as current! 
Dirty as porn! 
Toxic as a heavy-metal dump! 
WE the free thinking youth, 
RISE UP !
And FIGHT ! 

Their tempting snakebite CAPITAL lies! 
 
Tap-BANG! tap-BANG! under hostile skies, 
A bulletproof youth raps out the time; 
Our raucous cacophony! 
Our belligerent dancing! 
Our brazen beauty! 
Friends! that welling emotion,
The Catalyst 

The dancer ignites the Dance! 
 
Tap-BANG! tap-BANG! with graffiti and flowers, 
The song sung loud,  
Our colours joust,  
Grabbed in motion flung. 
A pollenating wave! 
A breaking metal chain! 
A brave drum-run da-da rhythm! 
 
A contagious feeling this Dada rebelliousness, 
Out-of-the-crease literature, AWKWARD, capable to shock; 
A spontaneous eruption, 
The anarchist’s manifesto, 
Suppressed as the Dodo, 
Creative as the primeval slime; 
And laugh laugh laugh on Gulliver's swift scythe wings, 
The coin of corruption cut and roasted, 
Caught hard and cold by our virulent plague; 
Friends! 
Incurably toxic! - Incurably bright! 
Spread WE the epidemic! 
ENERGETIC ! 
ALIGHT !
