Len Gasun Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

15.38    Sept 28, 2026

Bible Verse: 

1 Samuel 15:23 

For revellion is like the sin of divination and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.

(Sorry for the late post of this verse my dearest poet friends. May we always pray for God's wisdom, loving guidance, mercy, supplication and others when rebelliousness arise.)

The Rebel

Line of inquiry:
“Neither desire nor aversion 
Meditation our immersion
Conditioned beliefs discarded
Hymns we hum are our own version”
     - by Unseeking Seeker

We weren’t born rebels by nature
Our psychological dispositions allure
Shaping us to be defiant to authoritative rule
When forced to respond to pressures. 

Oftentimes, when freedom has restricted
Rebel’s conditioned beliefs are discarded
Then a high sensation seeking is suffocated
 And the boredom intolerance is fueled.

When a rebel rose from his desire or aversion
Meditation must be an armor, our immersion
Let’s all pray to God for wisdom and supplication 
Keep us from inequity and face spiritual desperation.

Christuraj Alex September 29, 2026 at 9:33 PM Your poem beautifully captures the inner friction of the human spirit, illustrating how restrictions can transform a gentle soul into a defiant rebel. You have very masterfully elevated a psychological struggle into a deeply personal spiritual journey. Your unconventional phrasing gives your poem an authentic human edge, making the quest for freedom and spiritual grounding powerfully. Congratulations! Len Gasun October 4, 2026 at 8:14 AM Thank you so much my dear poet friend, Chris. Hugs

Brandy Nicole September 29, 2026 at 7:46 PM ' boredom intolerance is fueled. ' So true, my dear friend. When an ' idle mind ' does nothing, that's when trouble starts brewing. Not a good thing. This is so beautifully written and expressed. Congratulations Len, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy Len Gasun October 4, 2026 at 7:55 AM Thank you my dear poet friend, Brandy. Hugs

Randy Freie September 29, 2026 at 5:23 PM To seek the truth unseen, hidden behind a veiled screen. It gets easier as you get older, sometimes truth lies, in the eyes of the beholder. I loved this. Insightful, intelligent, and inspirational. Bravo Mon Capitaine! POTD and beyond! Len Gasun October 1, 2026 at 10:02 AM true my dear poet friend. likewise.. thankyou as well. hugs

Alison A Smith September 29, 2026 at 4:08 PM A thoughtful, spiritually grounded reflection on rebellion as a response to pressure rather than an inborn identity. The repeated end-rhymes create a clear, hymn-like cadence, while the movement from psychological conditioning toward meditation, prayer, and wisdom gives the poem an uplifting sense of moral resolution. Congratulations on POTD, well deserved. Len Gasun October 1, 2026 at 9:21 AM Thank you dear. Hugs

I Am Anaya September 29, 2026 at 8:07 AM A point well taken, for too long we have been homo sapien centric. & from this point of view human solidarity is metaphysical. The rebel should never lose its moral 🧭 compass. Well deserving, Len, Hugs & Congratulations! Liked I'm all in with🙏's Len Gasun October 1, 2026 at 12:07 AM Thanks my dear poet friend, Anaya.

Daniel Henry Rodgers September 29, 2026 at 5:22 AM Dear Len, Congrats on POTD that offers a sharp breakdown of reactive vs. authentic autonomy. Purely reactive rebellion is often driven by sensation seeking, boredom intolerance, and the friction of restricted freedom, it remains bound to the very authority it resists because its entire identity is defined by opposition. It is thoughtful and intellectually probing, exceptional work, Len. Blessings, Daniel Len Gasun September 30, 2026 at 11:06 PM Thanks a lot for reading and your encouraging words my dear poet friend Daniel. Hugs

Beryl Edmonds September 29, 2026 at 1:26 AM Those who are not free to live life happily will rebel when their time comes eventually. A great read, well done Len and congratulations on having received Poem of the Day… Beryl Len Gasun September 29, 2026 at 3:49 AM Yes, my dear poet friend Beryl but rebels need prayers for wisdom, guidance, supplication etc. 1 Samuel 15.23 says rebellion is a sin.

Hiya Sharma September 28, 2026 at 10:57 AM Wow, this is such a powerful and impactful take on the line of enquiry dear Len! I love how you've explored the depths of what being a rebel is like, with certain characteristics that just differentiate one from others, voicing with vehemence! "When a rebel rose from his desire or aversion Meditation must be an armor, our immersion" Oh I agree! How philosophical and soulful is that! Brilliant touch towards the end ~ Being a rebel with wisdom and reason, loved reading this, best of luck in the contest, a fave ~ sending you light and fairy hugsz 💕🫶🏻🦄✨ Len Gasun September 29, 2026 at 3:35 AM Thanks for reading my poem dear poet friend Hiya. My envoi emphasized the need of united prayer especially for wisdom and supplication for rebelliousness is always a sin as 1 Samuel 15:23. (Late post of the verse due to time constraint yesterday). Thanks a lot and God bless.
