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.
