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!
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
