The Melancholic Truth
The Melancholic Truth


At a balloon shop,
One 8-year-old collects happiness,
While another 8 years old collects livelihood;
The innocent Dalits are treated as dirty beings,
While criminals become politicians;
Goddesses are worshipped with devotion,
But the daughters of the country get molested and raped;
Untouchability is illegal,
But we still have separate utensils for the drivers and maids;
When will humanity rise again?
When will justice prevail?
