Rebels

Leaving a friends house on a Saturday night,

I was in a good mood, no need for a fight,

but an enemy of mine shows up with an evil smile,

someone I hadn't seen in a while.

It was clear what he wanted, his smile wasn't friendly,

it was evil, sinister, definitely costly

of my time, I just wanted to go home

but this guy had the time and the freedom to roam.

He stepped in my way and said, "where are you going?"

I said, "Going home, it's cold, it's already started snowing."

He looked up at the sky, but looked down at his hair,

he saw me and stood gobsmacked, standing there.

He couldn't believe I had just insulted him,

he thought about tearing me apart, limb from limb.

He didn't know that I was not afraid

of the threats he next made,

and I was not afraid

of sending him to first aid.

Despite his age I was going to fight him,

I wasn't going to play dirty, bite him,

but I'd make sure he wouldn't fight me again,

i'm not violent, I'm just a fighter of men,

real men, not just 18 year old boys,

who only crazy, drunk people employ,

also nice, giving people with good hearts

could give ex-rebels a job at shopping marts.

In conclusion, fight back against the rebels without jobs

like people fight when they're forming angry mobs.

Do not succumb to their overpowering force,

if you stand up and fight, there will be no remorse

but rejoice, that you have fought for your right 

to live on this Earth, that is worth the fight.

I wouldn't call him or anyone like him a rebel, they don't deserve the word. People like you are the real rebels, because you stand up for yourself even if you're not the biggest or most imposing, and you know there is no honor in that kind of fight. and I love how you don't just tell how you feel but what happened too, so though a reader can feel your emotion they also know why they feel it. well done, not just for writing a fantastic poem but for having an honorable and commendable view of life.
