Rebirth of a Rebel
He looked down onto the wet earth,
The ashes still warm on the pyre,
A glance with neglect and dearth
At his rebel ideas razing in the fire.
As numbness bloated the hollow fog
And vapours condensed on glasses moist,
He’s proud for that mighty prologue
And of the fearless opinions he voiced.
- Each one of us has two lives – one where we live and the other where our ideas live. Most of us are not passionate enough to contribute significantly to the second part. The Rebel lives on, dormant in each one of us, without ever realizing its power to put forth new ideas and inspiration for the next generation.
- This poem is a toast to all those Bloggers and Activists who are voicing their opinions and trying to educate the masses.
He looked down onto the wet earth,
The ashes still warm on the pyre,
A glance with neglect and dearth
At his rebel ideas razing in the fire.
As numbness bloated the hollow fog
And vapours condensed on glasses moist,
He’s proud for that mighty prologue
And of the fearless opinions he voiced.

Amazing poem! In tribute to that little rebel inside all of us, and that little rebel is always trying to get out. I think more of us need to let loose that rebel inside of us (if we haven’t already), because in times like we live in now, we desperately need a change. Great post, really liked it!
The photograph is amazing too. Very aptly put in.
