I can't breathe (click to read more)


I see
people celebrating killings
in the na​​me of race
white and black
to prove
superiority

I see
people fighting
in the name of cast
upper and lower
to validate
ego

I see
people bombarding ideological wing
left and right
to establish
power

I see
people accepting new normal
of atrocities
to create
fear
among vulnerables

I see
people gathering
for mob lynching
to confirm
ethnicity

I see
people shouting
'goli maron saalon ko'
to gather
support

I see
people protesting
and rioting
and looting stores
to change the definition
of humanity

I see
people changing their love
to neutral
to hate

I want to blame
to myself
to society
to my leaders
to whom I follow
blindly

I am human
I am son
I am friend
I am neighbor
I am poor
I am rich
I am George Floyd
I am Vashram Sarvaiya
I am Pehlu Khan
I am Mohammad Akhlaq
I am 21st century
I am you
