Dalit Poems
SKINNY BONES Seen all those many skinny bones! Living moving human skeletons! Hundreds hundreds and hundreds Of millions of old and young poor! In rural villages lands and forests! Agricultural fields and plantations! Fishing ponds lakes rivers seas! Big big modern scientific farms! Urban slums factories workshops! Those poor Shudra caste hindus, And casteless non-caste non-hindu Ati-Shudras within local society! Tribals outside the main societies, Living in forests hills and valleys, Far-off distant lands and islands! In remote dense jungles lost lands! Unknown islands valleys and hills! Keep working struggling suffering! Producing food minerals clothes! Building all homes offices schools! Mills factories and the workshops! They, the unwanted skinny bones! Homeless hungry always halfclad, Without money to study or educate Their brothers sisters and children! To look after their families and Buy medicines for any sickness! Where then all the money wealth Food cloth and homes have gone? Where else - they are with all the Lazy bones, sleeping lousy guys! In the bed during the day times Out in the evening and nights - Like thieves robbers and dacoits! Non-working resting fun loving Parasitic liesurely class of People! The fat plumpy rich caste hindus - Yes, dominant caste hindu BKVs! With all diseases of lazy people, And the lousy immoral scoundrels! Historic evils of this poor Nation! Won't ever reform mend or change Society's Curse Leaches on People The brahmins kshatriyas vaishyas! Yes, that is what they really are! - A Dalit Poet Previous Poem Next Poem |
