Constitutional Racism Poem by Dr. Yogesh Sharma

Constitution then, leaving all other policy of human ideas,
Is an impartial equalizer of the humans.
But this is only on lifeless pages;
Any demand of equality is seen as an contempt,
And punishable offence.
For ages world has honoured knowledge's infinite power.
But now knowledge is mocked and laughed down,
The makers of the constitution, — The guardians of justice,
Unfortunately, have been more dividing and repressing,
In this order of justice — a monstrous racism in reality.

For some, the only diversity between equality and inequality is votes.
Days out and days in we are killed by quotas- -
Like symbols in artificial phrases? —
"Diversity, … Inclusion, …Equality, …Social justice, …
Secularism, …Affirmative action, …"
These are days I feel like non-existence in the cauldron of democracy.
I stand alone in the beautiful flower of false manifestos,
But I always been a victim of injustice,
Disruptive, …Caste-ist, …Anti-Social justice, …
With fervor that outdo the margins of my awareness.

With veins crying foul,
I am the weird patriot that grew too strong for the masses,
I am a vision, vision for a strong nation,
I am a spirit, - a blend of excellence nation would love to disregard;
My roots, won't let me sit still, nor can be contained.
All the voices, rather than voicing their resistance
Over the oppression and slavery;
Remain mute and laugh on the cuffs,
Un-concerned by the oppressive weight
Of caste and religious privileges.

Politics and power greed,
Crush the merit and talent,
"Merit and talent is become waste energy of no to good use! "
And merit and talent fear the sound of their own voice.
No stage, …No platform, …No ladders…
Those make it impossible to for the merit to reach the stars,
Keep struggling to grab them, but low merit grab everything;
Beyond curriculum, beyond values, stand here, a symptom of sting and pain.
Still we enlighten the world and pour out our souls,
Illuminates the world with our radiant appeal.

Merit requires Arjun-like hard work and insight,
Today, look in the eyes of students- ignorance and fear,
If you try to enlighten them with knowledge,
One is bound to fail in shaping their genius—
As they are the creation of dark quotas.
Look in the eyes of those, victim of quota onslaught;
They have the same light that tamed the mighty empires,
And the Mount Everest...
Same twinkle that guided the Mahatma to freedom,
But the racial quota mischief has undone all.

Exists frustration and gloom; slaves of racial system,
We were meant to be equal, living across caste and religion—
And we are crushed by the counts of democracy,
A cruel method which shook the consciousness.
Are we not humans, waiting for the next dying star?
All work hard to go into space—looking into telescopes,
Every child has potential,
Discrimination is branding them as unwanted,
Denying them their rights,
While some continue take the fruits.

Law in no equalizer- -
Rather, it is a killer of Indian Dream.
So wake up! Raise your voices, lift your heads,
Until patches of decimation are stitched.
Potential of every citizen must be honoured,
Non-quota classes have been treated as black sheep;
Absorbing every insult and no escape,
Together, can enthuse galaxies of excellence,
So wake up! Raise your voices, lift your heads,
Otherwise nation will be ‘ghastly statue of Frisco seal.'
