Thinking

 

Man is very subjective unless he can think!

Man can only think when he is allowed to!

And is capable of thinking at all on his own!

People generally don't think as they don't!

And do not want to or bother to ever think!

Also not allowed and can not even think!

 

The one who don't think most of the times

Are those educated and employed people,

The moneyed and the rich with everything

They need for comforts in their short lives!

They only think, if at all they have to think

About how to cheat all others to grow big!

 

Rich think crookedly in wrong directions!

To grow richer quickly without working,

More powerful and make lot more money!

After all earning money they haven't seen!

Employed don't think they need to think!!

Feel they have achieved everything in life!!!

 

Educated don't think since they can speak!

Developing it into an irritating rough habit!

To speak only on and on always endlessly!

Like the parrots what all they had heard

Just know or learnt somewhere here there!

Even not bothering they are out of context!

 

Educated think that they know everything!

More than all great people on earth ever!

Are living final authorities on any subject!

Really big intellectuals waiting recognition!

Whom all others living must listen to learn!

Respect rever and ever question them not!

 

Fools they themselves are to listen follow

Understand and grasp all the wrong things!

Deliberately told and spoken by those few

With veasted interests to mislead misguide

All like them to toe lines of some untruth!

For unspoken but known ulterior motives!

 

Because they are learned can read write

Listen grasp they think without thinking

Think that with all the unsolicited advices

False and wrong they are becoming great

And intellectual wise people on the earth

Growing more more wiser knowledgable!

 

Really fools they are not to know realise

They have been mislead more and more

With deliberate misdirections and advices

Made more foolish with wrong information

Loaded with untrue facts and falsehood

Furnished in the garb of new knowledge!

 

                                             a rebellious Dalit
