Rise: As One
Rise, O Ye!
Ye: The children of Adam,
Rise to fall never again,
Rise from every fall you have,
Rise as the sun does in the morn,
Rise as the moon illuminates the night,
Rise, and rise hard:
Rise as the waves in the sea,
After every trough: with their heads up,
In the ocean of eternal love.
Rise, O Ye!
Ye, the dwellers of the earth,
Rise with all the might you have,
Rise to the heights of sky,
For the heavens have the rewards:
The moon- so bright there,
The stars- so numerous in count,
Rise as the moon does from the clouds,
All of them so grey and dark,
Everytime they hide its face.
Rise, O Ye!
Ye, the one who falls, again,
Ye, rise as the wind on the land,
Rise as the thorns blossom in sand,
Rise after every fall you have,
For falling down isn't a sin,
Rising not again is, so rise!
Rise with bodies and souls mingled,
Rise, and rise to live,
Rise, but rise as One...! ! !

there's no denying of the fact that we are always in need of inspiring thoughts... the last line is the real beginning Rise, but rise as One! ...
...and it is a piece of inspiration. Your expressions are tremendous....rise like thorns in the deserts, like the sun in the morn. Well done.
The theme of the poem is universal and inspirational to the whole mankind. Falling down or rising again is not a sin. The poet urges all to rise as one to live as the Sun and Moon and as the waves from every trough to the heights of the sky. In an young age, the poet is inspired with universal thoughts. Wonderful!
