I see “silent” rebels

I see “silent” rebels
unconverted analog voices
un-broadcasted living

working
hard with their hands

conversing with people when
their paths cross

and listening

some “belong”
to non-profit churches

some do not

rebels battling evil
rulers and cosmic powers

praying in the Spirit
in the quiet

and they didn’t tell everyone
that they did it

like The Word on a high place
walked away to commune

Torah as a Person
Perceived as a Torah defector

now again, rebels against the noise
nonconforming mind-renewing
quietly tradition-breaking

hard to see them
without slowing down
or looking up
