Revenant is a haunting and powerful meditation on the cyclical nature of history, war, and the unyielding spirit of resistance. The poem’s speaker emerges as a spectral witness—one who has traversed battlefields, heard the cries of the forgotten, and watched as empires crumbled, only to be rebuilt on the same foundations of oppression. Through evocative imagery, the poem critiques complacency in the face of tyranny, questioning whether the pursuit of freedom has been mistaken for silence and submission. The closing stanzas serve as both a warning and a passing of the torch, as the speaker entrusts the next generation with the ember of rebellion, ensuring that the fire of resistance will not be extinguished.
