Rebellion


REBEL, REBEL, REBEL!

How this word can represent so many things

How this may be interpreted the wrong way,

Things such as evil and savagery,

Our own country was built upon Rebellion

Yet we see other Rebellions as evil clamor

Categorizing them as terrorists,

Unless they share the same belief

What a disappointment it is that we grew out of our old principles!

A Rebellion once or twice in a while is good,

Once said our great founding father Thomas Jefferson

Who also said government shouldn’t be trusted!

So I shall not bend over and let them take my arms!

I believe in natural born rights,

How tyranny can show a tricky façade!

I am not a Democrat, nor a Republican,

I’m not part of any party,

I am a moderate!
