Fire of Rebellion

A leader of a rebellion confronting the subject of the people's misery.

Now tell me how you feel
Are you confident? are you in fear?
Of life? Or the ultimate untold?
“ I’m unafraid, I do not fret. Nothing in this world can be of threat”
Are you sure nothing can be of threat? How about war? How about death?
“I’ve lived for long, and for longer I shall live”
But haven’t you been injured, haven’t you bled?
“I've come across death’s door and then I shed”
“All that’s human, I’ve left behind. Death now is but benign”
You see yourself king among us, yet show no mercy,
To those weak, frail, and strength benign.
I beseech upon you, be reserved and kind
“ The strong rule over the weak, that’s what nature has written”
Everyone has their purpose in nature, be it meek, or be it grandeur
Do not belittle the decrepit and beaten. Because when pushed, they’ll push back heaving.
“ I am a god among these heathens-”
No you are not! You’re nothing but a brute. Cleaving through the root of humanity. Destruction is your shadow. it veils your wake,
Yet you feel nothing, as if it’s naught but scum
You will be receiving a reckoning, as the scum you detest rebel and demand to be indemnified
Their strength in numbers, as they trample on your arrogance
And then where’s your godly countenance? Stamped with the steps of revolution.
At last I shall say, be it death, or be it evolution
My legacy will be behooved, for many it will recoup
The fire in their souls, and eventually.. they will call upon your demise.
With that, I leave this world for paradise.



“Foolishness. Such pitiful appearance.”
“Your hope for mutiny will never prosper. As fear is a weapon, never holstered.”
“Your death was for naught. As was your life.”
“These heathens will remain docile, never courageous to provoke strife”
“And I will remain their king. Ruling with strength, power, and might!”
