The Untouchables! Poem by Queeny Gona
The Untouchables!
We call ourselves; the 21st centurions,
Civilized and many more…
In reality, our thoughts
Still sticked to uncivilized era.
The so called civilians,
Carrying the ideas of untouchability;
Are the pillars of the society?
Pathetic! Would be the scenario.
Two decades of education,
Fails to eradicate the thoughts of untouchability…
What would come; in rescue of cleansing the minds of real untouchables,
Will ever social justice be possible?
Sincere thoughts. Yes, some people still exist who believe in untouchability. Good writting.
Do you still see untouchability Queeny? I wonder who are those animals? Very poignantly expressed poem.
Thanks for this wonderful rendition on the caste system of social stratification. Yours are insightful utterances set aside for deep reflective thought. Remain enriched.
how true.......u remind me a poem by challapalli swaroopa rani...she says.. just like d wetness around a well never dries, the curse of caste system never disappears....
Yes our mindset should change first.The caste system in which some castes are considered untouchable by other castes is really a very damaging system that eats into the health of society.In a civil society all people should live respectfully with dignity.Your poem is very apt to stir the conscience.
I am not completely knowledgeable about the caste system but yes, this is the 21st century and in a great country like India, such antiquated and socially destructive mindsets should change. A poem all people should read and take to heart
You are intelligent youth poet. You are getting to be out of the box. You are starting to realize some injustices. Very Good
