Lord, Have Mercy

By Lydia Royce

Lord, Have Mercy

You are not a man

I am not a woman,

Rohit Vemula was not a dalit,

Nor are we human beings

He did not die

We are not alive

His mother does not cry

Nor do we, the existing, laugh.

Lord, have mercy,

You have mercy upon us

This is the end of our rope,

May we rise from our slumber

May we Indians go to vote.
