Corruption and reason

 

Society suffering from

Stiffing superstitious atmosphere

Stagnating in corruption

Suppressing every truth

Simple inventions even

Rejecting rational findings

Dumping logical reasonings

Neglecting genuine concerns

Condemning intellectual exercises

Throwing out better solutions -

Arrived at with great efforts

After lots of exercises

And mental lucidity -

All as useless wasteful heresy

Seeing them as great dangers

Gives room to irrationality

Emotions without logic

Faith without reasonings

Fear and gut feelings

Sense of helplessness

Born purely out of ignorance

 

                                                     a real Dalit
