Title: Rebellion

Author: shaylin

Type: Poem


I'm not ready to call for out-and-out rebellion, but I do understand your anger and passion. I don't think you literally are calling for it either, just we become complacent with the way things are and if we aren't vigilant, those that will, take what they can and if we don't stand up and fight for what is ours, we won't have it. By fight of course, I mean to stand strong, and ultimately vote for those who will effect change. I certainly don't support an actual uprising.

The poem is pretty standard, it reads well, it's fairly traditional in tone and style, though nothing distinguishes it from a typical poem of its genre. The repetition of the line, "Rise up and fight back!" worked quite well, and made me think of a battle cry, which gave the poem an especially intense quality.

But yes, I do appreciate the emotion, the anger and the desire to scream, "fight back." And as you suggested, I think most of us have been there, at least once.
