No Kings. No Cages. The Soul Has No Borders.
We are living in a time when the weight of systems built on control and separation is impossible to ignore. We see it in the streets—voices crying no kings, no masters, asking us to wake up, to question, to remember that no one was born to rule another.
We see it at borders—in the faces of those seeking safety, only to be met with walls, with cages, with policies that turn human beings into numbers, cases, files.
And if we’re honest, we feel it in ourselves.
Stuck. Pigeonholed. Caged by expectations we didn’t agree to.
Hemmed in by systems that say: Stay small. Stay silent. Stay in your place.
But what if there is no place? What if the whole earth is home?
What if the kings are illusions, and the borders are wounds we are finally ready to heal?
The cry of no kings is more than a protest. It’s a prayer.
A prayer for the return of shared power—where leadership means care, not domination.
Where belonging is birthright, not permission slip.
Where we stop waiting for someone to free us, and begin dissolving the cages from within.
I feel it—and maybe you do too:
The longing. The knowing that we can’t live like this anymore.
That no one truly thrives when some are caged.
And so here we are, standing at the edge of a different way.
Not waiting for it. Building it.
What I believe:
There are no kings in the world I want to live in.
There are no cages. There are no borders on the soul.
And there should not be bodies of any being caged.
Only the work of returning — together — to what is true.
Reflection Energetics for now:
— Where do you feel caged?
— Where have you internalized borders that were never yours?
— What does shared power look like to you?
