Call Him Rebel! Poem by Binayakumar Mohanty

Call him Rebel!
Call him Poet!

Same sir, No different.
Try for the same cause,
They try to kindle the light
of eternal bliss
eternal peace
to remove darkness
on the path
of humanity
to act for fraternity.

Both are destined
to same fate
to be slain
by your unjust rule
misunderstood ever they are.

They may have their empty wallet
they care not your bullet.
the stop not the rebellion
they stop not the poetry of earth
poetry for earth.

You may kill the rebel
But not the rebelion
You may kill the poet
never the poetry.
