Yes, Mr. Aimé Césaire, I am that thing.


 

“Yes, Mr. Aimé Césaire,

 I am that thing.

Just like you

They created me.

I was born without chains.

But they made me a lifeless thing.

I am a thing.

Without life

I am a thing without breath.

I am a thing.

Without five senses,

I am a thing in front of them.

My skin color

Caste of birth.

Race,

Untouchability,

Gender never leaves me.

That’s why I am a thing without life.”

Dr. Suryaraju Mattimalla
