Best Rebellious Poems

I have never defied the rules before, I have never gone my own way. I have never not 
listened to command but this time it hurt too much not to rebel. I won't stand down, I 
won't leave without fighting. I am strong and I...

Rebellions Rhapsody


She had earned the sapphire talisman
freed herself from need’s plethoric drive
ceased longing for the dulcet drone
of felicity’s failing evanescence.
The chrysalis of crumbling youth -
idyllic illusion – awakening
her radiant, rhapsodic rebellion.

What???...

To get someone to read my poems… Contests there must be.
They must be bleeping nuts thinking I can follow all those cockeyed rules.
Out of a zillion types of poems they always pick the weirdest ones.
Allowed only 16 lines… I found I stopped at ninety-one.
And for...

"You Must Never Intefere With Mother Nature"
I've heard that time and time again,
and I'm sure I'll hear it many times hereafter,
I'm sorry, but if I see an orphaned baby animal starving and weak,
weather it has teeth or whether it has a beak,
I will not turn...

Shadows of fading Clouds
Staring on Ice tubes
As People proclaims goodness 
Sent me a receipt and stamp 
Another Common hypocrisy
Creating a false and confuse universe 
Interesting game 

Listen to the poets songs 
The dancing dragon
Are we restricted to express
A Cage of Morality ?
A Bondage of Art...

I sung to the music 
Smile upon 
A whirling dervish 
A Javanese mystic 
A man of nature 
And a Buddhist monk

Ask 
What is important? 
Your creed or your deed 
Being theist or atheist 

Cast out by society 
Just being you
For we are the seed of...

I relent!
I loathe this diet -
To cookies, I succumb!

I‘ll try it!
As the room got quiet -
Then only ate a crumb....

When 
all 
of 
them 
were 
holding 
guns. 
We 
held 
knobkieries 
and 
stabbed 
their 
sons. 
We 
sang 
songs 
of 
war, 
they 
shot 
bullets, 
we 
slew 
their 
nuns. 
They 
killed 
our 
Azania 
and 
told 
us 
to 
belly 
dance. 
We 
rebelled 
against 
race, 
for 
that

The rebellious Teen loved all his friends. 
The only ones he listened to… were them.
They wanted him to drink and smoke every night. 
They said experimenting with drugs was definitely all right.

The rebellious teen’s mom was beside herself… 
This was her child and this could...

The Rebellious Man




If love was meant to be
Dare he stand before his own soul
And deny it

Will he risk his broken heart

Should he turn aside from the path of breaking
And the making of destiny
Call fate in an inconstant hand

And rebel at being dragged kicking and screaming
From...

REBELLIOUS
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


A rebellious act is not  always a showing of disrespect
It may be an activity for a right you’re trying to protect
Every fiat and decree issued  by an agency of the government
Will alienate some creating disapproval and discontent
The reaction by the issuer...

Convert! Said the Spanish conquistadors.
They were more violent than the Moors.
We put on our mask.
And did what they asked.
Pretending to believe in their Christian lores....

I may always be or at least try to be as  much of a rebel as possible because it just may be that not being rebellious doesn't really work, is dishonest, and oftentimes is the destructive option....

Bard...
angry,
rebellious;
fearless of death,
refusing to appease the King's request!


"How
dare you,
minstrel
of humble birth,
deny me the joyful praises, which delight  me?"


"Haven't
I paid
a huge sum
of my treasure,
for the odes to laud my powerful dynasty?


"O
foolish
king, gold and
power cannot
buy the mind of a bard, who's seen bloodshed!"


"You
call me 
unworthy
of wearing...

Self control, God knows, is difficult at best…
Especially when rebellious is the
 self possessed.
I've put myself in corners,
I'll be grounded till pigs have wings
I can't even tell myself what to do, it seems.
