  • Comment from author about the poem: This demonstrates the human identity lost by untouchables in Asia in general and India in particular by Hindus and their notorious allies for the last 6000 years. Untouchables are the world's most persecuted community by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parcees, and Muslims.

    'I lost my identity for 6000 years.
    I lost my human identity.
    I lost my human status.
    I lost my existentialism.
    I lost my being.
    I lost myself.
    I lost my dignity.
    I lost my personality.

    keep writing
    keep sharing
    keep informing
    keep Believing
    Keep Fighting!
    if there - be, but One
    Voice!
    then, your embers of Hope
    for change - await
    for that spark of Awareness
    to insure, your cause
    may finally, be Heard
    and eventually - Even
    Confronted!
    corrected, and one Day
    rectified!
