Poem: We Fear Because We Are The Forgotten People

We fear…
Oh yes,
We fear because we are living amongst haters.

We are living between those who know how to hate,
how to kill,
how to increase violence,
how to spread rumours,
how to avenge,
how to spread fear,
how to divide.

They are few but they rule the whole world;
they are few but they ruined our lives;
they are few but they are sovereign;
Yes. That is the truth; you need to digest it.
In the midst of this catastrophe (COVID-19),
we fear not with this pandemic,
but with these goons.
We fear not dying with this pandemic but with these goons,
We fear not dying of poverty but being killed by these goons in seek of food.
We fear not being killed by this pandemic but being killed because of hatredness.
We fear because we are Muslims,
We fear because we are dalits,
We fear because we are minority,
We fear because we are uneducated,
We fear because we fight for Justice,
We fear because we love,
We fear because we are poor,
We fear because we are from lower caste.
