Is rebel a choice?

When you witness something unfair right in front of you

When your senses betray and you don’t know what to do

Will you be mute spectator snuffing your conscience in lieu?

Will you live in denial till your face turns blue?

Life offers no magic wand

How will you respond?

 

When you experience overcritical negativity

When such damaging opinions demolish sensitivity

Will you let it undermine your essence your ability?

Will you endure in silence till it becomes propensity?

Courage is a love affair with the unknown

How much will you own?

 

When you acquiesce to publics and their idea of things

When you follow and are in awe with influencers’ bling’s

Will you be able to undermine persistent impressions?

Will you be able to negate irrelevant expressions?

Being famous on Insta is like being rich in Monopoly

How will you bring polity?

 

When you listen to advice which does not help you grow

When you cannot be yourself and just go with the flow

Will you let your views be windswept at a cost?

Will you let your visions be eroded and lost?

Bad company can corrupt good character

How will you control the factor?

 

When you asked to take a stance and truth is at stake

When you may be ostracized for the choice you make

Will you bend your principles and let go off the scruple?

Will your self-respect then dwindle or will it quadruple?

No man was ever wise by chance

How will you achieve a balance?

 

Thank you
