Rarity of Rebellion

With calloused fingers, and ink-stained hands,
   A poet prepares for battle.

Searching for the calm in the storm,
   Paused, poised, and still.
A deep breath in.. a long exhale;
   Their pen becomes a weapon.
The power it wields, undeniable;
   It spills truths, immeasurable:
The blood of a shattered Nation.

The pen: a weapon; a battle-cry.
   Rallying masses to follow its lead.
Demanding justice, answers, and equality.

The poet, constructing, and carefully crafting;
   Their words, building momentum.
Lighting a beacon, leading us all -
   Towards a beautifully rare Rebellion.
