Rebel Beast

Written: May/27th/2015

Shoot the rebel, tame the beast, arrest the outspoken,

these are just view perspectives from a someone who's been broken

By an unjust system as we blame the passerbys for not listening

Stand still we might try to hide the inner roar just to be misheard and convoluted by our own doubts

To remember:

Your stare is your shout

Your voice is your stamp

Your speech is your instrument

Your vision is your choice

These are embodiments that no one can claim or attest to have rights to.

As you climb each step of the staircase to be remembered, you glance at the rocks but aren’t disconcerted because you are driven by passion. If the skeptics gawked and shouted at you from nearby rooftop, you’d imagine them as dust particles that your dog can lick off.

You are on your way to listen to the legends, if it cost you your ears, valor and some token. For there is no choking on the big man’s agenda, swallow the spit shine from his leather boots, nor acknowledge the look from his soon to be apprentice.

At the end of my day, I want to say I’ve attempted to set my footprints in carbonite, wear self sown badges crafted from the blood sweat and tears of another voice to be recognized.

You can’t disguise the non average, because it’s obvious there is a jungle of mediocre. Take a spyglass to the black sheep amongst the herd that strives to be amplified.

Defy the gravity living amongst the brevity of what can be described as different.

Don’t blame the passerbys for not turning their heads because even if they didn’t look, they were listening.
