“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.”
