Disobedience - Thishe Bennett


Disobedience, 

An intolerable act

Defiance,  

The tactic of a child 

Turned into a beautiful form of crying, screaming, or yelling. 


Disobedience, 

An unseeming account

From day job’s workers 

To retaliations and unpaid brokers 


Disobedience, 

Defiance, 

A king who was always so tyrant. 


Corrupt governments 

and unjust laws 

Broken pieces and disheveled halls. 


Disobedience in me

Raised the question of uncertainty. 

Protested jobs and a protested voice


The dark color windows blacken 

For there is something that mustn’t be seen. 

That must be disobedience for me… 

For disobedience is the unwritten key to mortality.
