By Rupali Jadhav

I can't breathe
because of discrimination
because of racism
because of class
because of caste
because of gender
The whole world is like a jail
They don't allow me
Freedom of speech
Freedom of thought
Freedom of expression
Freedom of livelihood
There are two parts of the world
One world is of the exploiters
One world is of the exploited
All happiness goes to those
Who are White
Who are Savarna
Who are privileged
But I am not in all these categories
They lost all their emotions
They lost all their humanity
They lost their soul
I am just a small Person
I am just a Human
"Who can't breathe In this Crowd".
