Misfits,
Untamed,
Chastised,
Ridiculed,
Ostracised,
Hidden,
Forgotten,
Conveniently disregarded under varied pretexts.
Not willing to comply,
Neither willing to give up,
Preferring dignity over toeing the line,
Preferring mutual self respect over dominance as a way of life,
Preferring talent and experience over equations,
Dented self respect,
Most rebels are eventually broken,Some remain defiant while lying vulnerable on the ground,
Not willing to give up their freedom,
Not willing to appeal to or please any authority other than one's own,
Cognizant of the fragility of life,
Driven and motivated by their understanding of dynamics of life,
Self aware and having realized their true self worth,
They rise from the dust like a phoenix,
Once again to fly into the horizon in their true majesty.
Towards the ultimate quest of settling deeply within and never having to return.
