Treatise Of A Brown Man

I am not here nor there 

I don't know; 

I belong where?

You won't find me on edges. 

My ancestors kept me in the middle. 

I am neither black now white

Though thankful for the one 

And dreaming for the other 

My psyche kept me in the middle

Neither Genghis nor Alexander could

Only I could have defeated myself

Enslaved myself 

My ignorance kept me in the middle. 

Neither you nor he can dare to reject 

Only I can do it with myself 

I worship Kali; though not the real one 

My hypocrisy kept me in the middle 

Neither talk nor express

Debate goes on the; love and sex

My taboos kept me in middle
