Political Poem : Manya


If only us humans could coexist,
could break through boundaries,
could live in peace.

The divide created,

by 'intellectual' minds,
based entirely on political designs.

Caste, class, gender and religion,

were remembered duly
for source of inspiration.

I do not understand people,

nor do I understand their need for evil.
Why do you want to harass tell me?
Why bully another group of people?

Is it because you've been hurt in some way?

Is it because your religion wasn't the same?
What in the name of god is religion anyway?
An institution telling you how, when, what to pray?

How is womanhood a taboo not blessing?

Why is she under gaze, even while nursing?
Why is her body raped and a site of cussing?
If it wasn't for her, human race would be perishing.
