The Rebel

Help the rebel cause We pause To pay our respects to those brave enough To stand for those who won't for whatever reasons For standing against the oppressors of the oppressed The instigators of our distress But, indeed, our lives could be so much worse than it seem Though, truthfully, it could be so much better than we could ever dream Could you imagine all the thoughts your mind could never speak? As they prey on those who willfully portray themselves as being weak Or dare I even speak Of the scraps we've yearned to keep As we work ourselves to the bone While they boast about their profits reaching new record peaks But you know what? There is no more time to pause As we stand witness to the budding flower of hope Blooming to its profound perfection While contemplating all the ways we should continue to cope Though whats needed most is a massive moral correction So help the rebel cause!
