No Kings, Only Chaos? Protests Across America, A Disturbance in the Force I Sense

A Galaxy Far Far Away... Or Just America on a Saturday?

Across this nation a great disturbance in the Force I sense. Millions they marched in streets and parks chanting against the darkness. A shadow looms this 'No Kings' movement proclaims. 'Millions marched they did,' the organizers say. Governors they urged calm but some the National Guard they mobilized. Fear it is a path to the dark side yes but also to preparedness hmmm?

Tear Gas the Dark Side's Perfume

Ah Los Angeles a city of dreams and…tear gas. Like a Sith Lord’s cologne it filled the air. What began in peace ended in dispersals by police action. Portland too felt the sting near the ICE building. 'A riot this is,' the authorities declared. Detained some were. Patience young Padawans but sometimes action it requires.

A Shooting in Salt Lake? Fear Leads to Anger...

In Salt Lake City a shooting yes. One critically injured. Three detained including the shooter himself also wounded. Motives unclear they are. Politically motivated? Or a squabble among friends?

Marches Drums and Upside Down Flags: A Symphony of Discontent

From New York to Denver crowds swelled like a rancor’s belly. Drums they beat chants they echoed. Flags both right side up and upside down they waved. 'Distress this signals,' some said. In Atlanta thousands gathered exceeding capacity. A puppet of Trump a golden toilet he sat upon. A mockery it was. Hmmm humor a powerful weapon it can be.

Culpeper's Cautionary Tale: Reckless Driving a Path to Destruction

In Culpeper Virginia a driver reckless he was. Accelerated into the crowd he did. Charged with reckless driving he is. Remember young ones the Force it surrounds us it penetrates us it binds the galaxy together. Use the Force for good not for reckless abandon!

Hope Amidst the Chaos There Is

Philadelphia Los Angeles New York… Each city a story. In Philadelphia small flags they handed out. Signs they carried. In Los Angeles fist bumps to Marines and also chants of 'shame'. A man named Peter Varadi voted for Trump he did. Now regrets he has. The Force it works in mysterious ways always. And though darkness gathers hope there still is. 'No Kings,' they cry. 'Only democracy,' they yearn. May the Force be with them always.
