The Rebel.

       The Rebel.

No rebellion ever began,

Without a view of travesty.

Some crime of lovelessness,

Rained down upon you and me.

So shall we obey

And be contained by them?

Or do we fight

For the freedom of love again?

I am no soldier

Except that I fight for good.

I am no rebel

If not exposing all the falsehood.

I create no danger

Except to the evil in men.

The love I give freely

Will help heal the world again.

If you see a rebel,

Perhaps change is what you've seen.

If you thought adversely

Maybe provoked is what you've been.

I hate the greed

That goes on daily before my eyes.

I dislike intensely too

The pollution reaching to the skies.

So please count me a rebel,

If I raise questions in your mind.

I'd be very happy

If you saw these issues defined.

Power to the people

For we fight to save mankind.

Rebel love to the people

Be brave, do good to others of our kind!

Whilst I admire the way Ernesto 'CHE' Guevara initially fought to oppose injustices he saw in South America, I am in no way favoured of his later day activities and use of weapons and other instruments in the pursuit of his and Castros shared aims. I abhor any kind of violence as a way to solve/resolve any issue. Much as Gandhi who fought violence with peaceful non-cooperation, I too believe this to be the only suitable and fair way to address any human conflict.
The poem is simply about LOVE and how to display such.
