That's Why

Perhaps you don’t know,
About a treatment of insults,
I were insulting over centuries,
I am Dalit that’s why I am writing you.

If you are seeking justice,
Just remind them who are attempting,
Injustice can deliver anyone,
Can you mark a sign of peace?

I am n’t foolish, I am n’t illiterate,
I am wise and I am educated,
That’s why I am seeking cooperation,
To confirm your regard.

I were humiliated over centuries,
That’s why I am raising this voice,
Do you believe injustice?
Let’s go to kill discriminations.

I want to live my life,
That’s why my struggle is hard,
I thought one day will come, when
You shall regard your intellectuality.

If you are seeking your regard,
Just remind them our differences are,
For a better living, to keep us alive,
To justify the values of natural resources.
