Asked the doggie!

I asked the good white little Doggie!

Why do you chew the bone Doggie?

Asked in answer the little Doggie,

Why are you asking this little baby?

I will tell if you answer my question

I told that nice white little Doggie

Ah yes, I do keep chewing this bone

To spend my time you see and also

Keep myself engaged and very busy

When no one is paying me attention

When my big master is away baby

Answered the white little nice Doggie!

Oh thank you I told the little Doggie!

Like you often keep wasting times

Just chewing this old fleshless bone

Useless in any respect to anyone

Many large number of my Dalits

Keep chewing words of old tales

They keep gossipping about others

Indulging in useless unrealistic gossip

All day with their wasteful friends

Or keep running behind the brahmins

Those dangerous brahmanised Dalits

Or the more dangerous hollow Dalits

They keep believing and listening to

All those dangerously shallow Dalits

Who call themselves as intellectuals

The most wiser and intelligent Dalit

More knowledgable than Baba Sahib!

And as the incarnations of Ambedkar!

Otherwise keep running like brahmins

Behind food or anyone else who can

Feed and give to them a little food

Run wherever is available some food!

Or like the asses and stupid donkeys

To get some black and yellow papers!

Why you worry my dear little baby

About your illiterate poor Dalits?

Let them go in hunger behind food

Like the poor dirty black brahmins

Thus replied the white little Doggie!

Without understanding the realities!!

Oh running behind the food now

Are not the illiterate poor Dalits!

But well educated employed Dalits

With regular good enviable salaries!

That is why I am worried these days

I had to sheepishly confess to Doggie

They are all, sorry to say this to you

These days sadly are going to dogs

Like all other illiterate poor Dalits

Who spend their time and money

In liquor bidi cigarettes and drugs

I did blurt out before that little Doggie

I am very much worried these days

That this large community of Dalits

Is going down drain wasting money

For the evil baniyas to pick them up

Of which ultimate cunning brahmins

Get their good share for easy living!

After all the money baniyas make

Part of which they give to brahmins

And to bribe the DCH Govt Officials

For selling freely to foolish Dalits

Liquor bidi cigerettes and drugs

Not at all ever going to badly stink!

Everyone knows money will not stink

Like the money will not also ever bark

Even if it has come by selling a Doggie

Hence those who share loot by selling

Lives of poor are cosy comfortable

With knowledge that they are all safe!

a critical Dalit
