Popular Poems About Rebellion

I cannot change the system from within,
so why stay here, stuck in the status quo?
I know I might not live to see love win.

When frightened minds see human love as sin
and power players change rules as they go,
it’s risky changing systems from within.

I feel the judgement even from my kin,
who say that change is moving far too slow
and don’t have time to wait to see love win.

But change by force will only change the spin,
as new oppressors rise up from below.
To end the cycle, hearts must change within.
