“Being and Becoming
I am an untouchable
for 6000 years.
I am Madiga.
I will be untouchable
for the next millions of years.
I can’t speak
I can’t learn
I can’t walk
I can’t decide.
I can’t claim
I can’t own
I can’t drink water
I can’t wear
I can’t perform.
I can’t identify
I can’t hear
I can’t see
I can’t read
I can’t write
I can’t smile.
I can’t love
I can’t feel
I can’t express
I can’t achieve
I can’t acquire
I can’t taste
I can’t touch
I can’t stand
I can’t sit
I can’t breathe in
India.
I can’t breathe in
South Asia.
I can’t breathe in
Asia.
I can’t breathe in the
Pacific.
I can’t breathe in
Africa.
I can’t breathe in
MENA.
But
I am becoming and
attaining human status in a non-caste society.”
