Why are we so divided on various bases <br />Religion, caste, creed, colour and races <br /> <br />Religions classed as Shudra or Brahmin <br />Upper caste treating the lower as vermin <br /> <br />Across my India, man behaves inhuman <br />Birth seals thy fate, not talent or acumen <br /> <br />Lower caste you are, you must clean the loos <br />Hellish life awaits, resigned to the blues <br /> <br />Stupid old crap about evolution of the castes <br />Will this shit exist, till civilisation lasts? <br /> <br />Confused since I'm born, we all look the same <br />Breathe the same air, the food we eat is same <br /> <br />Then why differentiate and cause such chaos <br />At our own hands, we're nailed to the cross <br /> <br />Worse than Holocaust, more cruel than Apartheid <br />Casteism stinks of man's crimes undefined <br /> <br />Every village or town has a racist attitude <br />Handful of uppers rule the vast multitude <br /> <br />Denounce this system, disown this blind God <br />Even theism advocates- a slave and a lord <br /> <br />Fighting with each other over a God unseen <br />If He did exist, this won't happen in his reign <br /> <br />Theist? Then learn from Krishna or Shiv <br />With cowherds and ganaas, they're said to die n live <br /> <br />Open your eyes, create heaven while you last <br />Brothers n sisters- no race, creed or caste <br /> <br />I dream of an India where each kid is born free <br />Free from the shackles snapped by such decree <br /> <br />The day we get united, The day we stop infighting <br />That golden day we'll see the dawn of India Shining<br /><br />Avirat Shete<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/casteism-a-curse/
