NO KINGS by R.M. Engelhardt
“There's an old saying

If you don't like what I have to say, if you don't like honesty or truth, if you don't like what I stand up for or represent?

NO KINGS by R.M. Engelhardt
“Poets & Poetry Should BE AUTHENTIC

Poets should actually care. The same goes for all musicians and artists.

Everyone.

Instead of being worried about "Popularity" or creating super popular "Fun Events" try being a real person and real poet and create what is necessary and what is needed for your communities and others right now in these dangerous times where your voice matters the most. There will be no tomorrow if you don't. They are censoring books, they are censoring your voice.

All the rest is pathetic bullshit.

All for $$ and fame. Be real.
Give A Shit.

And if you're neutral ? You're a big part of the problem.”

“TIME OUT

Every single time shit happens in history everyone
runs for cover to a church or an underground bunker
fearing death and retaliation slavery or retribution for
being alive or human because human beings keep fucking up our own atmosphere with hate never realizing that this pathetic behavior isn't human at all but primitive bullshit without real reason or soul never learning that greed and money is what every single time has brought us here to this very same place. A bunch of whiny, immature children screaming " Mine! Mine!" in a desperate need for a permanent time out in a prison cell who needs to learn that this shit isn't going to be accepted or tolerated anymore. Ever. The problem is is that you let them get away with it all and followed them blindly and stood by them, did nothing as they took all your rights and are now using your own money to amass more money, more weapons and more toys that they know will keep you from putting them where they belong in a prison cell or ja
