"We rebel.

Because rebellion is the quiet insistence that dignity matters.

Because rebellion is the simple recognition that human meaning is not negotiable.

Because rebellion is choosing courage over convenience, clarity over confusion, connection over isolation.

We rebel because we are awake, aware, and alive—and we intend to remain so.

We rebel, my friend, because it is the most human thing we can do."

This is one of the most meaningful poems I have read in this moment of such profound destruction. Thank you for all the essays and poems you have written which keep me centered in objective reality.
