of dalit women plight
upper caste takes pride
humanity here despise
seeing the cruelty dies
of high caste females crucify
mercilessly their own gender 
in the name of caste blunder
mutely supporting the plunder
of dalit women, who...

Kung sasariwain ko sa 'king isip
Ang nangagdaang mga kapanahunan,
Liban kay Jessang lubhang pinintakasi,
Ikaw'y naroon 'di ko maikukubli!

Katoto kita sa 'sang asignatura,
Sa unang tagpo'y 'di ko maikakaila
May paghanga ako sa iyong nadama.

Aywan ko...

I know your heart is pure,
That’s why you make me a Dalit.

It is sanctity of your God,
Or the purity of your receipts,
You never accepted...

The words are true,
Before their origin,
I was as a stone.
When the words touched me,
My mind played with me,
And the heart catches the waves. 

The words are true,
Before their origin,
You were nowhere exists,
Neither in my heart...

educated dalit, working in office elite,
his journey from rags to riches,
hardly matters for high caste there,

to overcome his sordid tale,
of breaking away...

let the death cry be heard,
of those dalit murdered,
and seek emancipation,
against the discrimination,
ask not for justice,
if that only leads to injustice,

Democracy for elites
Principles never enlight
Politicians aggrandize
Void of commitment
Dalit rights crucified
Every Day, Hour, Minute
Burnt, tortured, raped
Blood tears wept
Humanity if any ever left
Upper caste domination swept
Nation deliberately slept
How can Millions Rejoice?
As largest democratic voice
Shame, to them
Who makes...

to help achieve forbidden glory
of those lives gloomy

Into your fiery mouth, 
I rush. I am ash. 

I am beyond myself,
I am a mottled moth 
diving into you 
to be consumed.

I am your sweet tongue,
