What is it that your hungry mind still seeks, <br />have you not taken in all thoughts of science, <br />and philosophy and human failing, it reeks <br />your valiant effort, though fanatic, in defiance <br />of fellow man's complacent, bound convention <br />and of your peers' judgmental jealousy? <br />So is what you pursue a truly genuine intention <br />of finding knowledge, so benignly, just for thee? <br />We shall not suffer the conceit of bold fools lightly! <br />One must accept in life one's station and horizon. <br />Your accident of birth, your genepool, so unsightly <br />as proof enough should lead to your surmising <br />that one can count the numbers of tall poppies on one hand. <br />Which is our gentle, and so human means of genuine concern, <br />intended to convince, to let you understand <br />that all belligerence, inevitably, will wither like a fern, <br />this in the face of what has been and always will remain: <br />A world of equal and transparent rights for all. <br />Thus at your deepest peril, utterly and blatantly insane, <br />will you stand in the midst of us. As rebel you shall fall.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rebels-fall/
