She is queen
not because she was born into royalty
but because, like Danaerys Targarian,
she made her subjects love her
by giving them freedom

A mere glimpse of her claiming her power,
displaying her whole self
is so liberating to witness
that whether or not you’re ready
you get a vicarious surge

Like a true leader
she uses her platform to raise awareness
raising all of us
with the wisdom of grandmothers
of refugee poets
of Macolm X

She doesn’t want a following
She wants to be a catalyst
of your own awakening

When she says bow down
she is inviting you to say it with her
to tell those who doubt any of us
those who doubt all of us
to step aside

When she says, I was her witness
She says: you don’t need anyone else
You are enough

So tell me now,
Who do you think you are?

Rise up
Tell your world to get in formation
hold up
demand full screen attention

And tell me this now:
Who run the world?
