Will it ever?

It’s my caste which matters

more than my knowledge

I am not getting the best

as I am of different caste than rest

How is this fair?

For me, discrimination is not rare

Born a Brahmin was my fate

Being deprived of opportunities is mandate

When will this inequality end?

Will it ever?

Capable?

Oh my mind, Can’t you see
how far I have come
I managed the bad and
withstood the worst
I reason with myself
to be in sanity
My judgments are computed
but enclose my intuition
Then why do you doubt and keep on asking me
Are you capable ?

The light

Let this glow be part of you,

be enlightened of greater good

To know of hidden knowledge behind

few disappointments in mind

Let this celebration be the one

which fulfils your wish for prosperity

Let it bring you delight

Embrace the glorious light

Beat that demon inside you

For this is the day I believe,

you have the power to do so

Achieve the gift of truth to grow

Below the dark twinkling sky,

you can win the battles you pick

Against the odd

Cherish the joy which connects you to god.
