"The Presidential Alert System Goes LIVE" (https://youtu.be/bshFjVylMNw)
Their aLErt is the sound made by the banging of the crown against the bars. Its so beautiful to hearer that they can't see its a cry for help they're so distracted by the beauty. AleRTISTS are like imprisoned princes b/c society doesn't know what 2 do w/them, whether or not they shuld be praised or ridiculed ~Tasha Shields - 6 years ago
