Stroking the round belly <br />He burps <br />Centuries of being fed <br />Centuries of having read <br />The Vedas <br />By Hindus to wash away their sins <br />Brahmins- <br />Why, aren't they the 'superior' caste? <br /> <br />Entry from the rear <br />Close the bathrooms, mom says <br />The 'Jamaadaar' is here <br />Centuries of persecution <br />Centuries of mortification <br />The Untouchables <br />By Hindus to wash away their faeces <br />Bhanghis <br />Why, aren't they the most 'inferior' caste? <br /> <br />Yes <br />It exists <br />In some form or the other <br />In Your mind <br />In My mind <br />Made us blind <br />When will it perish? <br />When will it be abolished? <br />Stop calling them for 'havan' <br />For all our auspicious events <br />The others dont deserve to be shunned <br />Clean our own johns <br />Clean our own minds <br />Of all the centuries of castes <br />Let it unwind.<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-7-angst-the-hindu-contrast/
