The morning's revolution
July 25, 2015
The sun had risen
the morning, enlivened
with rays of hope.
and happiness afloat.
Light crept into my room
where flowers of gloom bloom
where life was almost doomed.
But it never fail
to prevail
the dictator
that haunted me
for centuries
of darkness.
Light, set the room ablaze
coerced the dark force to faze
it's energy, it's life
unchaining my wings
breaking the pane
that separated me
from the wonderful world
teaching me the powerful words
Yes, I can
I can rebel.
I can disagree.
I have the right to.
No one can stop me.
Even though I am weak
Even though I am young
Even though they say 'No',
I am doing it
like light defeated darkness
like the morning's revolution.

My school starts at 7 am so I have to get up at 6 am. Whenever I get up, I would spy the peeking sun right out of my window. It is a perfect example of beautiful simplicity but beauty of dawn isn't the first thing I notice. All those energy and passion of the rising sun hit my heart first. It then mix up with my frustration over the appalling education system of my country, pathetic teachers , the celebrated rote learning and other stuff, which left me so angry that I want to rebel. I just don't want my school years pass away quite pointlessly.
