Suffocated 

Dr.Suryaraju Mattimalla


“We are suffocated for being us.
We are sandwiched between hegemony and tradition.
We are sandwiched between humans and the earth.
We are massacred for being us.
We are raped for being us.
We are buried alive for being us.
We are lynched for being us.
We are terminated for being us.
We are hated for being us.
We are crushed to pieces for being us.
We are killed for being us.
We are isolated for being us.
We are excluded for being us.
We are subjugated for being us.
We are downtrodden for being us.
We perished for being us.
We are throwing off buildings for being us.
We are breathless just being us.
We are stoned to death for being us.
We are genocidal victims for being us.
We are traditional slaves to them.
We are traditional slaves to them.
We are sandwiched between hegemonic masculinities and feminine femininities.
Our identities have perished, grounded and terminated.
We are sub-humanized by them.
We are de-humanized by them.
We are subjugated by them.
We were terminated by them.
They are humans.
We are sub-humans.
They are superior.
We are inferior.
They are pure
We are impure.
They are rulers.
We are ruled
They are oppressors.
We are oppressed.
They are glorified by drum boys and girls.
They are glorified by the drum media.
We are glorified by ants.
Their lives are long.
Our lives are short, shorter than an Impala.
We are ants and impalas.
They are lions, tigers, panthers, hyenas, anacondas, and vegetarians.
We spread love.
They spread hate.
They are omnipresence and omnipotence.
We are weak.
They are black-skinned, white-masked
We are true to ourselves.
They are Janus faces.
We are true to ourselves.
We tell the truth.
They lie.
Finally, we are buried.
They are cremated.
Heaven is ours.
Hell is their”

The United States of America, in general, and Black-Americans, in particular, or historical blacks or former slaves, and radical whites and sexual minorities, united to overthrow President Donald Trump's supremacist regime after brutal violence against George Floyd and others.
Indians banded together against untouchable castes to continue their 6000-year-old brutal violence against untouchable castes in the name of caste, untouchability, race, purity, impurity, yoga, meditation, spirituality, vegetarianism, classical dances, Bollywood, cricket, education, reseevations, and scholarships, just like Asian-Pacific students and teachers of Human Rights and democratization united against Mattimalla Suryaraju.
