VIGILANT TO QUESTION

War is too serious an issue to be left to all generals,

Govt is too big an institution to be left to politicians

Governance very complex big problem to be left to,

The political parties and their agents and financiers,

Administrations too complex for these bureaucrats;

Economy is too serious an issue to be left to those

Individuals all of one caste baniya business people,

Education is too basic a problem to be handled by

The academicians with responsibility and due care,

Justice is too very precious to be left to all Judges;

We SC&ST Dalits have to be vigilant to question,

And check all these people by constant monitoring

If not the least at very reasonable regular Intervals,

If we are to survive here and live with due respect

And in dignity in future as equal free human-beings!

- a vigilant dalit
