Mirabeau

Mirabeau
T'was the falling of dawn,
Thy mind the place of ideas born.
A spark of light in the dark blossoming,
A flame, a conflagration in the creating.
The will to challenge what was the norm,
The strength to maintain the current form.
Isolation and accusations cut to the core,
Beastly vile words come to the fore.
Heresy, blasphemy, nonconformity
Madness, insanity, flights of fallacy.
In light of one they shall unite,
Society, cutting short an individual's flight.
Yet, irony, unbeknown to all,
The future they seek, it shall fall.
The future, belongs to one to create,
He lives, he dies, there shall be debate.
Ideas, sown, like the seeds of change,
The strong shall thrive, the meek shall faint.
But for the Martyr, who gave his soul,
All is worth, more so than gold.
For his selfless sacrifice,
He has helped us roll the dice.
And once this dice stops all revolutions,
All shall change, for this is, evolution. -
This is an excellent write!
I love the flow and the strength of this poem. If you continue to write like this, there is no doubt you will become an accomplished poet in the future!
By any chances is this poem about Honoré Mirabeau, the French ststesman during the French Revolution? (I took French Revolution as one of my subject a few years back, now all forgotten liao)

You studied about the French Revolution huh.I never had the opportunity to do so..was it full of stirring accounts of leadership and a increasing wedge driven into the Republic by the extreme views of the royalists and non-royalists?

actually im just borrowing his name to represent the spirit of revolution. in a way that is what most revolutionaries, of any type, would more or less have to go thru.Originally posted by DeadPoet:This is an excellent write!

It is one of the topics I took for Foundation Course. We touch on the ideas and events surrounding the French Revolution. The subject also covers philosophers during that period for example. Jean-Jacques Rousseau whose ideas inspired the revolutionaries and art appreciation such as the work of Jacques-Louis David (who was for a time the ‘official' painter of the revolution), etc.Originally posted by LazerLordz:You studied about the French Revolution huh.I never had the opportunity to do so..was it full of stirring accounts of leadership and a increasing wedge driven into the Republic by the extreme views of the royalists and non-royalists?
But unfortunately most of the knowledge I return back to my tutor liao.
