An Appeal.....

Please....stop interrogating about me

Like you and all others, I am born and grown up here

The blood and sweat share the same soil without any deal

It makes no sense except perfect nonsense

Is it not enough? I look like you in every aspect

Why that persistent and pertinent question?

There is nothing to hide...I know...if not with you

Will be revealed to concerned authority....

I am a nomenclature for somebody in this asylum

Very over-sensitive unpredictable lunatics around me...

Patients with different degree of mental imbalances are too many

I am scared; about your curiosity....your homicidal madness

Red shot eyes and your manic look, forces me to a state of rage

You brand me in your own social taxonomy and cage me in a solitary cell

A confusing classification so unscientific social disharmony

Very unsure about your reaction, I hesitate and conceal,

You may hug me with joy if related to your say

Well, you may kill me for your fanatic ploy for fancy

I shun my name, shun my language and

I hereby, I declare with all senses intact and sane

I am not yet insane....lucky to remain still a humane

Ye... I do solemnly declare....in the name of what?????

I am a born orphan and dumb by birth,

Without a history of human worth I am left alone....
