God's Children Poem by Vivek Haldar

O! You Kumhar Please help me shape up my life,
as it has been turned into a shapeless kingdom;
O! You Mallah Please help me reach my home,
as my life has become a random destination;
O! You Chamar Please help me get me into my new shoes;
as my footwear has been torn down by my tireless journey;
O! You Bhangi Please help me Clean up my life,
as it has become a garden of filth and dust;
O! You Koli Please help me in catching the biggest fish,
as my hunger is no longer in my control;
O! You Poet Why are you still writing about them,
as this poem of yours will be dumped like your earlier ones;
O! You God why don't you listen to these people's prayers,
as they are your own children like everyone else,
and they don't deserve to die a silent death just like me,
as they are your own my almighty!
