GUEST POEM

This Poem on the lot of Dalits, was reportedly

Penned when poet saw the Movie AKROOSH.

He dedicated this Poem to his Dalit Friends.

The voiceless weep a weeping hymn

That even heartless can feel,

The voiceless weep a weeping hymn,

Forbidding consciences to sleep.

The voiceless howl a howling hymn,

That pierces through the highest cloud,

The voiceless howl a howling hymn

As silence heralds thunder loud.

The voiceless moan a moaning hymn

Groaning with faith for justice bright,

The voiceless moan a moaning hymn

Till God's fierce lighting flashes might.

The voiceless cry a crying hymn,

Vibrating through the system's steel,

The voiceless cry a crying hymn,

That makes the saints and angels weep.

The voiceless chant a singing hymn

The sweetest part is still unsung,

The voiceless chant a singing hymn

Who will give voiceless mouths a tongue?

Robert Mayer
