[Poem] Hindu Fas(Caste)cism
have you seen the beast
that snares?
.
either at you
or me
or others
to whom
is unimportant
.
Undeniable truth is
that it snares.
.
Snare becomes your face
perhaps you have butchered love.
what snares can hurt.
what hurts is small.
what’s small always
presume itself as ‘big’.
nothing real big
will crawl
and do hideous things.
.
With pride it says:
‘make a better world
by serving me.
take without remorse
of what I give or not’.
nothing real big
has two tongues
that says:
ancient means holy
sacred means ancient
then, spit venom:
anyone who questions us
is a sacrilege
to be withered into dust.
.
religious casteist slaves uproar:
“long live avatar of mass..!
praised be the beast,
for sure,
it has changed the nation.”
.
The awakened voices
of outcastes silences
the shout of casteist slaves.
“what’s that change?
a nation that
abide on
buddha’s four noble truths
ruined into
four classifications by birth
plus fifth
noble truth bearers
as outcastes(us).
the nation is changed
according to the beast
are you the human or beast?”
