Harindranath Chattopadhyaya's Revolt (Click for RY Deshpande's & Sri Aurobindo's comments.)
I will revolt against the lies
That these my lips and these my eyes
Are taught from hour to hour.
I will revolt, even as a seed
Filled with a longing to be filled
Revolts into a flower!
I will revolt against the curse
Of cramping creed and holy verse
Which fill the heart with night.
I will revolt against all things
That tend to rob my restless wings
Of undictated flight.
I will revolt against the sham,
The huge hypocrisy I am,
I will revolt, and rise
Out of the habits of a slave,
Each habit that is but a grave
Inscribed with subtle lies.
I will revolt against the fraud,
The dirty trick that men call god
And play on one another!
I will revolt as best as I can…
I will not rest till every man
On earth becomes my brother.
31 December 1930
