MOTHER BESANT

Home Rule alone is our goal, nothing more nor less, we now demand
Let us proclaim this ultimatum with all the breath at our command
So much lost, so long endured, nor more begging, nor any mediation
Let us walk under Bapuji's umbrella with this strong determination,

What sort of acts they passed so far and how many amendments made?
All but to serve their prejudices and please whims & fancies of every grade Every one of our deputations rejected, petitions ruthlessly turned down?
Did they ever glance at them? Were we ever given audience sans frown?

Will their exploitation go on for ever? Will violence pay them every time? 
Will that, damananithi', and double standards sustain them all time?
Who do they think the Indians are? What sort of power do we wield? 
Is it military ? Police jhulum? No, we rely on soul force in every field.

Let not our meakness be misunderstood for inherent spineless weakness 
Let not soul force be underestimated, or deemed as a case of helplessness 
Let not our Dharmajyoti be extinguished by those unscrupulous power boors. 
Let us display our dormant volcanoes and broadcast its disastrous horrors
