“Even though I am sleeping
My eyes are not closing
with fear of death from them.
Even though I am walking
My foot is scared of their whiteness.
with fear of death from them.
Even though I am speaking
My mouth is not voicing
with fear of death from them.
Even though they are human rights bodies
My presence is making them shun me.
Do you want to know?
Who am I?
My name is black in a white nation.
My name is untouchable in Hindu nation”
