India’s caste still decides our dignity—
Not just apathy, but our lived condition,
We react the moment we perceive another’s identity.
The rage of symbols distracts us;
Language flares—
Wounding the non-native.
Our sphere dreams of “Viksit Bharat”,
But it doesn’t rhyme with reality—
We still breathe in the same old Bharat,
With the same claims, yet to combat (discrimination).
As we undergo vicissitudes, knowledge of boundless skies—
Which uplifts us every single time
Like bilingual voices flowing into a multilingual style,
Soaking every vein of mine.
So—educate! Agitate! Liberate!
For in the human rage of this world,
We are sunken in discrimination, differentiation, and segregation;
At every stage.
Come—let us do good, be good,
And stand as one among others.
Ebullient, effulgent, egalitarian, eclectic, thankful, thoughtful, teachable, tenacious in earnest.

truth
not on
the wane
figurative elements
emerge
as an outspoken
renaissance
simple
egalitarian
radically different
to the
patriarchal
equality
so existential
defiance
a recurring theme
an
encounter with
notions of
being inferior
in a bid
to understand

obsession with

triumph
on reflection
NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

When the unjust people change colors
& we do not see the justice we are pleased with
We do not see our guardians as helpers
We cling to the right
Appoint fairness to our kingdom
Justice as the queen
Equality as the king
We title our nation
EGALITARIAN
(2)
Infidels does not remain
Justice is the highest value
Fairness is the foundation of our property
Like stars in the dark
We rise above parties & nations
We go to war with injustice
Slaughter the unjust
Raise their heads to the sky
For the Lord avenger
Swear victory upon equality
That is the world where I hail from
The EGALITARIAN world

Gravity
Heavy wave connects me to All
Fluctuating wave touches 1
with another
Holding Everything Together
lest The Universe should splinter and Split
cause to Weight
As light it traverses cosmic distance
An egalitarian connection
A proposition without special markation
or choice
A force Strength in Weakness
like Daoist Dualism
crosses a Chasm
A universal link
Ubiquitous existence
Interaction at a distance
Avoiding cataclysm and Chaos
Calling All Matter
Calling All Matter Come to Me
Come now from near from far away
commence your way to be
Be part of my singularity
Gravitate to my Estate
Let's Party! at my Horizon
We may share it
None shall be left behind
come for a Spin
lose yourself Within
There he is again,
he-man of the new age,
feeling imancipated,
from his man-hood,
although his man-hood;
as an equal,
to his sex -
partners, and his god.
The he/she,
with his ,
girl power this,
hyper masculinity that;
world of woman’s suffrage of which has Electra --Complexed his sexual appetite
to an egalitarian sexual encounter.
Black man’s new Man?
Bra-burners new One?
Homo-sexual alpha male?
As the phallus of the goddess,
unto a new manipulation,
feeling a new pain,
underneath the medication
and apathy.
Numb -
except for her/him.

The color of blood remains unchanged,
flowing for eons in the stream of time evolved,
as the ancient singular ethnic ancestor etched
the diverse footprints of humanity on the globe.
The splayed common heredity thriving insulated,
flourished into different lineages of humankind,
the physical traits diversified to get typified,
while melanin played with color on the skin.
Born to breathe the free air of the blue planet,
equality pines under the shroud of deprivation.
The unkind human history gets modulated
with the misplaced sense of superiority.
Evolution produced physically distinct groups,
the construct of race isn’t grounded on biology,
but is a socially invented concept used to exploit
the people of color who are not less human.
In the egalitarian framework the critical paradigm
recognizes the banality of racism afflicting social norms.
People born under the free sky deserving equity
like to see the human race becomes color blind.

Social evolution invented down the line
selective and complex, customs skewed,
placing men in the lead, women behind,
for they are deemed the weaker gender,
born unequal in the nonpartisan world
under blue sky of freedom made for all,
to obey silently all the time, subjugated.
As the dark clouds of imposed illiteracy
and obdurate poverty drift slowly away,
the aspiration sun shines equally above
with rainbow hued dreams for humanity,
and as the archaic social norms discarded
crumble in the egalitarian cauldron of time,
women see the light of liberation flicker
at the end of the ancient tunnel dark.
It’s time for the tenets of human right
to redesign now the social fabric frayed.
Let not the gender divide asymmetrically
the open opportunities and obligations.
Let the women’s captive essence becomes
free to reach the heights where men are,
consciously ripping the glass ceiling contrived.

How can we stop misuse of power play?
An egalitarian society is what we need today
Egalitarianism will bring prosperity for each gender
Handcuffs for exploited hands and full stop for offender
Do you know what is egalitarianism?
A remedy to get rid of frustration
A rational movement to end up discrimination
A logical way to advise
Reflection of heaven and Paradise.

Subtle Poetry will not have any effect on an atrocious person!

In the course of social evolution,

born unequal in the nonpartisan world
under the blue sky of freedom for everyone,
to obey and to follow, subjugated.
As the dark clouds of imposed illiteracy

the sun of aspiration shines equally
with the dormant dreams for everybody,
and as the archaic social norms

women see the gleam of emancipation
at the enlightened end of the ancient tunnel.
It’s time for the tenets of human right
to redesign the frayed social fabric.
Let not the gender variance divide unevenly
the opportunities and obligations.
The captive womenhood would then
be free to reach where men are,
breaking the contrived glass ceiling.
Part of me longs to reside in
a high functioning
win/win cooperative community
of resilient left hemisphere,
resonant right hemisphere,
polypathic/polyphonic communion.
Part of egoself-care wisdom
and longing
feels drawn toward eremetical asylum
more than gregarious shared sanctuary;
to solitude,
peace
ease
natural sounds and sights,
green new/old deals,
relationships
communications
communions of egalitarian interdependence,
more internally holistic intersections
noticing sacred global beauty
in local experiential truths
mundanely secular.
Yet the best part of my internal ecosystemic awareness
wants both,
wants Earth's all,
longs for cutting edge win/win communion,
healthiest wealth,
resilient resonance
restoring ego/eco co-investments,
just truth and beautiful mercies,
graced bounty,
synergetic integrity,
robust democracy of healthy hermits.
Too unneedy greedy,
the sound of two co-arising hands
not clapping,
I unrealistically realize
longing in belonging.
As a path of fear
leads to fundamental fragmentation,
left-hemisphere industrial-strength domination of Earth,
universally egalitarian
and interdependently unitarian
only in its final lap toward death,
A path of compassion
leads to radical left/right bicameral solidarity,
equivalent in our positive energetic integrity;
sometimes experienced as sacred communion.
A sustained mystery for more long-term resilient cohabitation
is how to exchange high tolerance for ambiguity,
with, and not for, active curiosity about ambidexterity,
vulnerable dipolarity both/anding transparent bipolarity,
merging win/lose stuckness
in our emerging collective illusion
of ego-identity's fundamental
sacred
monocultural autonomy
Autonomy of identity
as if both necessary and sufficient
before humane/divine multicultural interdependence
could grow more robustly possible,
Rather than this Other historical way around
healthy yinterdependent yindivid-yangation
prior to egalitarian sacred identity
actually co-passioning
healthy dualistic potentiality,
While still in EarthMother's
ego/ecofeminist sanctuary
of integrity,
secular/sacred co-passioning Womb.
A more sustained mystery of more long-term resilient cohabitation
is exchanging high tolerance for ambiguity,
with, and not for, active curiosity about co-acclimating
trans-regenerations of nurturing timelessness.
