I was born under the sky with a million stars,
I don’t know what it’s like to have abusive scars.
I never had to worry to put food on my table,
I’m blessed to have been financially stable.
My caste, my religion is my iron shield,
For drinking water from a well, my son doesn’t have to bleed.
My voice is heard because I’m so pure,
But my dalit friend’s struggle is always obscure.
I don’t know what is discrimination,
Because my last name is not my limitation.
I pled after riots, but I don’t end up dead,
I’m still not anti national, because I don’t wear a white cap on my head.
But why do I still always play the victim card?
Why don’t I see others life is also hard?
Why am I exasperated when others climb up the bar?
Why do I forget I was born with million stars?
