Poem For Independence Days
Against England, we fought a revolution,
demanding complete and total separation.
To our own republic and Constitution---
which does not recognize royalty---
should be our unbidden loyalty.
The British aristocracy
has no place in our democracy,
no welcome and no invitation.
So why should the wealthy and merry
wives of Windsor give our media a thrill?
Have we not had enough of Liz and Phil?---
of Willy and Kate, and Meghan and Harry?
