Speaking to a crowd in Lakeland, Florida, Nikki McCarty began her speech by saying she is “afraid of public speaking,” prompting cheers from the audience.
McCarty then launched into her poem. “As we protest injustice, we can acknowledge and affirm the humanity of everyone, even those who are misguided,” she said to cheers from the assembled members of the crowd.
“Even when we condemn oppressive systems, we do it in love,” McCarty added to cheers. “Love is at the center of what I’m speaking about today.”

Yes, in anger, but also in love,” they added. “In my open letter to my cousin J.D. Vance, I’ve long avoided elitist society.”
McCarty was forced to pause for a bit as the entire crowd booed at the mention of Vance’s name. “A seat at that table could never sit right with me,” she persisted after the jeers subsided.
“You claim work of God and flaunt notoriety, but aligning yourself with false might isn’t piety. Clearly, our voices give you anxiety since you clutch your pearls when we won’t suffer silently,” she said. “We’ve co-opted language to redefine words. So if we speak out, we aren’t truly heard.”
The protest ran counter to Trump’s poorly attended birthday party(Image: Getty Images for No Kings)“You’ve mislabeled protest as criminal acts. And if we dissent, we risk being attacked,” McCarty added. “Meanwhile, our data was knowingly hot. Dozer, pollantir were all being tracked, policed, and stood guarded one way or another.”
“Will you do to me what you do to my brothers and sisters in Gaza, all dying of hunger? Our dollars drop bombs on boys running for cover,” she espoused. “An apocalyptic hell based alt right prophecy swells into a sinister post liberal theocracy.”
“But there is nothing prophetic and hate-filled, heretics, child amputees, a mass grave full of medics protesting bombs is an anti Semitic but how fragile a man that can’t handle a critic,” she said of the president’s actions. “Colonization is class parasitic.”

They took the devout, the obedient whore and funneled them into the pipeline for war Controlled them with fear and fueled them with rage.”
“Limiting media built them a cage. We pay our taxes for blood on our hand so ethnic supremacists grabbed for more land here in America,” the eerie poem continued. “Floyd’s cries for his mother haunt us eternally. People of color are hunted and tortured by systems designed to reinforce racist prisons of the mind. Arbery, Garner, Taylor and Rice Victims of a hatred aimed it precise.”
“You’ve mislabeled protest as criminal acts. And if we dissent, we risk being attacked,” McCarty added.

“I’m told that my body is not truly mine. They say we should let the states rightly decide and restricted or travel to keep us inside,” She said. “At one time, I would have more rights if I died, but now, as a corpse, I would still need to hide heartbeat bills or compassion’s fall.”
She warned, “If we don’t own ourselves we own nothing at all.” She added, “And what of the queer childless failure like me with no direct stake in society. Disable the fighting each day to be well while our healthcare system dissolves into hell.”
McCarty then turned her attention of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. “Autistic educated owning my home but let RFK know that I wrote a poem.”
“And we will keep on making wedding plans and finding hope. Awkward dates and corny jokes,” she rambled. “Ignoring all your reprimands for love you failed to understand and now your violence is locked on.”
The poem also tackles the LA riots, which Vance slammed and threw his weight behind Trump. McCarty finished up the poem by stating, “Oligarchy soon will fray at the seams as a city of angels shields us with its wings in our land of no fascists, no hate and no kings.”
