People Of Double Mind! Poem by Ramesh T A

If one wants to forego all govt. benefits,
One can go by the pride of belonging
To a high caste or class community ever!

But if one wants all benefits from govt.,
One should reveal oneself as belonging
To a backward or minority community!

Instead of following either of the two, if
One wants to say oneself as high caste as
Well as backward, it's riding on two horses!

Riding on two horses with one leg on each
Horse is doing circus, which is as standing
On quagmire and river at the same time!

People of double mind cannot decide anything
With positive outlook to progress in the society!
