he would not allow
india to be carved
by a hateful knife
into regions
into states
demeaning
the ethos
of our birthright

if dr balasaheb ambedkar was alive

he would not build parks his own statue
or burden the exchequer with elephants
that are an eyesore megalomaniac queens
mockery of the poor man no respite

if dr balasaheb ambedkar was alive

he would not divide his country as
rich or dalit or downtrodden but
only as true indians no hindus muslims
black or white would see that as indians
among ourselves for petty arguements
we dont fight ..in a world full of
darkness we spread light..

if dr balasaheb ambedkar was alive


seeing the scams corruption political misery
the degradation of the constitution
he would be baffled sad a freedom struggle
in vain hope gone to seed.. understand
my poetic plight...my silent lips stitched tight
