Here’s a Burma-Shave-style series of signs with a **social justice theme**, ending with the message “No Kings.” Each line would appear on a separate sign, spaced out along a road:
Equal rights
For every voice
Justice fair
Should be the choice
No Kings
They hold the crown
You hold the load
Stand together
Change the road
No Kings
The power’s yours
It’s in your hands
Build a world
It’s in your hands
No Kings
Truth and love
Will light the way
No one rules
We all have say
No Kings
Each set of signs uses the rhythmic, rhyming style of the original Burma-Shave ads while conveying social justice themes like equality, collective power, and rejecting authoritarianism or hierarchical rule. The final line, “No Kings” delivers a punchy, memorable conclusion in the same way Burma-Shave signs ended with their product name.
Maybe you would like to add these to your protest signs.
