Demon Of Racism Poem by Rajnish Manga
Demon Of Racism
Not much so far done
More needs to be done
To tame this demon-
Racism is on the leash
Blunted & stunted a bit
Thus far it's only the tip
Dwells this demon in
Deep dense dark dens'
Alleys of it's followers
No place out of reach.
Racism has always been a social stigma which everybody has to fight strong. The dark cloud will vanish one day....*****
Racism may not be so obvious in the modern world, but it's there all right. I thought that India would have little racism, though.
Not essentially racial but discrimination based on caste, religion or region still raises its head once in a while in my country.
Yes, truly said that no place is out of reach of this demon called 'racism'. 'Discriminating against people in any manner whatsoever is unacceptable' - I entirely agree to this, as commented by Red Soul.
Though the voices against racial discrimination are consolidating, and this is heartening, much more needs to be done to completely get rid of this slur on humanity. Thanks, Khairul Ahsan.
(cont) eally appreciate how you made sure to include everyone, irrespective of geographical locations, in this... The lines 'Thus far it's only the tip/ Dwells this demon in/ Deep dark dens' shouts truth as it has ever been shouted... A very important poem Mr Manga. Discriminating against people in any manner whatsoever is unacceptable. Thanks for sharing.
I am so pleased to have this valuable feedback on and a fine review of this poem. You have so nicely underlined the most humanitarian approach to this subject- Discriminating against people in any manner whatsoever is unacceptable. Thanks a lot, Dear Friend.
One the worst social evil the world has ever seen has been segregation of people based on skin colour. Here, in our country, too we often find people discriminating by skin colour. Your poem, strangely, reminded me of newspaper matrimonial ads - 'fair skinned brides needed' etc.
Yes, these are very commonplace instances and are generally glossed over by the readers or equally biased match-seekers. This kind of attitude has no place in a progressive, modern and equality-oriented or an egalitarian society worth its name. Let's hope things improve in the days to come. The colour of the skin should not be a qualification while evaluating merits of a person.
