a heritage
bequeathed to him
he will not forget
he shares it with
all of you through
my picture of pain
overflowing through
the soul of the internet
yes he is a north
indian a bhaiyya
a cry in the wilderness
not responsible
for malaria
as someone
has said
he is a bharatvasi
the blood
of his nationality
like yours is also red
unlike those
who take bribes
unlike those
who rob and steal
unlike those who
empty the coffers
of our countrys
common wealth
honestly
with the sweat
of his brow
he earns
his bread
its a pity
in his home state
they wanted him
to build
lord buddha
dr ambedkar saabs
statues
that he fled
from gonda
he came to
mumbai
on the gorakhpur
express
to try his luck
instead
he tried
all the jobs
today this
tomorrow that
a bumpy road
lay ahead
he fell terribly ill
but because
they felt
that he was
the cause
of spreading
malaria
he was denied
a hospital bed
outside the sion
hospital they threw him
in a make shift shed
carrying the sins
of his forefathers
on his head
he bled
he bled
he bled
a pathos of a poem
introducing
you to the living dead
