Description
Rebellion
Idealistic
Committed
Overthrow a corrupt regime
Freedom fighters
Patriots if they win
Rebels
Insurgents
Terrorists
If they lose
On strike
Sit in
March
Protest
Question Authority
Change the status quo
Make a better world for our children
Ahhhh, those children
Natural
Inborn skill
At two it's NO!
Twelve says
You're not the boss of me
Eighteen needs privacy
Apartment
Car
Their job is to
Separate
Slam doors
Become independent
Change their world
Something is wrong
Important enough
To lay it
On the line
Do whatever it takes
Even if we fail
Eye of the beholder
Agent for change
Or rabble-rouser
Handful
Visionary
History decides
Oppressed
Becomes oppressor
And it begins again

Rebellion is such a strange thing...very complex...very human. I love your treatment of the topic and if I'm lucky, I'll be finished with my little rebellious story before the end of this month. HA! It's rebelling! I love the way this meanders, weaving more than one rebellion into a single unity while at the same time, wonderfully commenting on the state of human affairs. I suspect if humans had nothing to rebel against, we'd cease to be human. We're natural born...um...rebels...but then, without change, something sleeps within us. This is brilliant.

Mildred: Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against? Johnny: Whadda you got? ~ Marlon Brando in "The Wild One" Judging by your next to last line you were reading my mind. They became what they beheld. The Revolution always eats its own.

Wow...you hit the nail right on the head with this! Love the way this reads. After thinking about this for some time, this quote could in large part be my quote: "If you haven't turned rebel by twenty you've got no heart; if you haven't turned establishment by thirty you've got no brains!" Kevin Spacey

This is wonderful! So well written and encompassing of the many different aspects and contradictions of 'rebellion'. As I read it, I thought of John Adams, traveling across the Atlantic to find aid and finances for the struggling rebellion in the colonies. Receding in the distance was the land which called him patriot (well, among other things) and before him the land that would gladly have strung him up if they could have gotten him in their grasp. He had defended British soldiers because he believed that all should have the right of a fair trial, but later, in his presidency, he would sign the Alien and Sedition Acts to deny freedoms to others. Nothing is simple and best of men have flaws. John Adams is my favorite founding father (or rabble-rousing rebel, depending on your point of view) mostly because of his letters. They show such a fascinating contradiction of self assurance and self doubt. If you look into the heart of rebellion, whether it is personal or political, you find the same contradictions and shades of gray. Superb writing. I love the way it leads from one form of rebellion to another and the way they blend and turn into their opposite. I love the ending which like rebellion does not end, but loops back to a repeat old actions with new names.
