Here, everyone has to rebel until
he seeks out, identifies and climbs
his own throne of gold or iron or word, or mere mud.
.....
Until the spring of self blossoms,
each individual will have to rebel against
parents, against teachers; and the closed first
of society. So long as they oppress and feed the
Orphan stale food
and restrict his growth.
Until one's own marks of identify are ready;
Until within one's limits, One spreads
his branches and twigs sufficiently
Every one has to rebel.
....
Most importantly, One has to declare
endlessly a holy war
against oneself, through one's living days;
against the secret fifth column that conspires
Inside the inner cave of utter darkness;
against those who come in desirable disguises
to flatter and to extinguish
the lamp of selfhood;
against one's own day dreams which tempt
by magnifying one's ambitions;
against secret fears that try to push
you into the pit of despair and laugh out loud;
against distortions that stem from selfishness;
against the neighing of mirages of impossibilities;
against unabashed women
who draw you astray or pull you down;
....
The declaration of rebellion
should keep on blazing;
until every branch weighs down with ripe fruits;
in order to offer the kernel to others and seeds to the future;
to lay another stone to the foundation of mankind;
....
...
