all rebels see themselves

in all they oppose

and make their own downfalls

more painful for the pride


unlike the smugly complacent

who see themselves as blameless

and thus lose their individual natures

in a bland but vicious herding


that denies all ascent...

oh I would take all action

required of active ongoing life

knowing I would damn myself


for all the blessings I'd incur...

all of us bucking at shadows of the stars....
