Being an ordinary citizen of a nation
I always faced merciless damnation
By passing through this tortuous fashion
I don't think I will have salvation
I am surrounded by merciless hounds
Hence I lost my limits and bounds
Slogans are for me with shrieking sounds
But in the process I lost my grounds
A useless instrument in the useful crown
For vested interests I am up and down
They declare themselves white, I am brown
They are the white collar and respected gown
Against me they are united and one
I am in open field under scorching sun
They play with me, like play and fun
On my cost becomes done undone
Like me this is the public plight
Against themselves they have to fight
Due to my old age and oversight
I don't know justice is black or white
