Who are we?

Who are we?

Who are we?

Are we not related with this country?

Are we depatriated from the hell?

Are we cursed by the Almighty in this earth?

Why all such humiliations on us?

Why such partiality on our rights?

Is it our offence to born in this community?

What has to do to get the basic living needs?

If it is our crime ,

We may be sentenced to long imprisonment in dark cells

If our living is crime against the God and nature

Our community may be dumped in the earth

Iam asking the God  for these  communal descriminations

If I am wrong  or my question is wrong

I may be punished inthis earth and in the hell too

Who Are We?

wow, I felt "Who Are We" held valid questioning not only to "God" as in your piece but to us the reader. This can open conversations on things left untouched by society....enjoyed
