Rebellion


Rebellion
Written by Nick Brodeur


Anger, frustration,
standing on rebellions edge, 
abstracts among multitudes,
 lay history's supportive hand.

Muted, suppressed, 
an open mouth with no voice,
 historical fears dictating us, 
preaching need for a balance restored.

Pride, desparation,
 to feel worthy of basic human rights, 
when the line between have and had,
 becomes unmistakable and yet deniable.

Lust, oppression, 
the uncivilized means of restoring civility, 
greed above humanity, 
our non existent past.

Power, absolution,
 to watch over many without restraint,
 through panic and fear,
 they will lead us divided and broken.

Ashamed, repressed, 
the basic needs of life that keep us silent, 
when childrens mouths and warmth, 
depend on your words carefully chosen.

Love, absolution, 
the no fault loss of a friend,
 the heartfelt vow to never stand silent,
 vocal against madness and corruption.

Dedication, sacrifice, 
when others would cower in fear,
hereos arise out of conflict with kept memories,
 for the cost of inaction, just to great to bare.

Peaceful, revolution,
 a powerful voice announcing the presence of hope,
 beheld in the spirit of possitive change,
 united in it's introduction to the world.
