Life as a pariah

Life was a torture,

It was a pain,

I had to bear with it,

I cant end my life like that,

Because of my family

My children,

My beloved.

Suffering will soon be gone,

As I have been good,

Not doing evil,

I will be in a better caste in my next life.

My hopes of being a fishermen is dashed,

Because of being a pariah,

Because of being born into a cobbler family,

I got no choice but to be a cobbler.

I disliked it.

Everyday, I go to work ,

Everyday I accept the fact that I am a cobbler,

I am a pariah.

Why is life so unfair?

Why are Brahmins living such a luxurious life?

Oh,

I guess I just have to bear it.

As long as I can be in a better caste next time,

I will be determined,

I will not give up,

I will do my best.
