Being A Quiet Rebel Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Being a quiet rebel, no one having authority over me, because
I always do the right thing, preventing others from trying to
control me in life.

Saying so more often than not, doing what feels right and
just, avoiding complicit ways of evil that many others
choose to follow instead of doing what's right.

It would be a much more peaceful way of life if only others
were open enough to embrace it, rules and laws were made
for those who can't seem to tell right from wrong.

God gave us the ten commandments to follow and adhere to,
but most choose not to and go their own ways, even though
I'm a quiet rebel I choose to follow them.
