The poet believes that man lives a routine and dreary existence. He is also involved in harmful activities that hurt both him and the environment. In a weird turn of events, he would stare at his injured hands. Man needs to rebel against his circumstances and live life to the fullest. This need for rebellion is what the poet was all about. His work can be seen as a call to action for men to stop being passive observers of life and start living fully. He wants them to rise up and fight against injustice.
