The approach eloquently appealed to the audience as a modern theory capable of analyzing poetic texts and decoding them, by studying the public responses. The study concluded that the theory of public rhetoric was able to analyze the poet's rejectionist discourse and revealed its multiple formats which represented in exposing the mechanisms of authoritarian discourse in the tyranny of people. It also reveals the ability of public responses and their expressive methods in creating a rejectionist discourse that confronted the authoritarian discourse of authority and created a critical awareness of resistance
