Independence

This is our Land, and our Country!

This is our Nation, and our India!

We celebrate here Independence!

And also Freedom, for the People!

Which People I just still know not!

Which Nation I am not yet aware!

May be these for the rich and ruling!

Their all good friends and agents!

Yes it must be for good old learned

Dominant big caste hindu BKVs!

I really know not for sure my dear!

I have not yet become one of them!

Thank me so my dear dear People -

I haven't crossed like the learned!

I am still one like you simple poor!

One of you, a good Untouchable!

A Dalit Poet
