Two boys
while returning
from the school
were arguing
The higher caste boy
the Touchable
diverted the topic
by a question
to untouchable boy
What is your caste
The answer
provided by the mother
of the untouchable boy
that he is a touchable
was a lie
Why did the mother lie
what is a untouchable
Untouchable
is born to a untouchable
to die as a untouchable
Untouchable
is not meant
to dine with
the touchables
Untouchable
is not meant
to marry
the touchable
Untouchable
pollutes the touchable
in many forms
such as touch
Untouchable
is lowely being
without a soul
Untouchable
is not meant
to excel
Untouchable
is born as slave
to die as a slave
Some say
times have matured
Untouchability
is a thing of past
The truth is
known to all
Untouchability
The repression and brutality
which was open earlier
is open some times
is open many times
hidden almost every time
The innocent boys
Sorrowful eyes
questions
Why untouchable
is still a untouchable
