Blind Dreams

 

       Even when you sleep when your eyes are closed

       You see things clearly what you had seen noted

       And enjoyed in the day during your other works!

       What you had then desired while awake in day

       What you had coveted or what you had dreamt!

       While awake in the day as the dreams of night!!

 

       The blind does not see even World around them

       During the day itself as they go about feeling that

       Dreaming about what would really be the World!

       How then can they see the World in their dreams

       Things they had neither known nor had seen ever?

       Pleasures in life for Dalits whether awake asleep

       Are blank like those dreams of the blind in night!  

                         

                                                                        A Dalit Poet
