Rebellion
You who hide in the darkness of power,
Spare at least a thought for the light.
Do not provoke the youth under the intoxication of authority,
Or you may lose everything that makes your power worth holding.
If you truly have courage, then step onto the battlefield,
For this battlefield offers nothing except loneliness.
We, the youth, walk forward with our lives already at stake.
If you claim to be brave, then face us openly on the battlefield.
