Authority

They say
Follow
But we turn
And walk away

They say
Conform
But we change
And walk away

They say
Submit
But we rebel
And walk away

They say
Give
But we take
And walk away

They say
Quiet
But we shout
And walk away

They say
Sit
But we stand
And walk away

They say
Honor
But we laugh
And walk away

He says
Respect
But we spit
And walk away

He says
Love
But we scorn
And walk away

He says
Take
But we refuse
And walk away

He gives
Life
But we choose
To walk away

  1. Unfortunately, this is true in most cases. Either way, your poem was an honest work of art. I read this over and over until I was neatly in tears. A sign of a real masterpiece.
