The True Rebellion

By Ladyhawke



We live in an era where to be uneducated is the ultimate desire of
the masses.  Our act of defiance must not come from the ink on
our skins, the clothes on our backs, or the music that pounds into
our ears.  Our rebellion has to come from freeing ourselves from
ignorance.  We have to smother ourselves in knowledge, drown in 
wisdom, read, write, conceive, create if we ever want to break
free from our oppressors.  
And so I beg of you, rebel.

    We alway dream to be free, but truly are we? We need to be educated to read and write yet we rebel, in order to be creative we need to be educated, yet we rebel against it. Love the piece Your's truly the Renegade ;) lol
