When You Realize

C P Aboobaker

    When you realize
    the people demonstrate fo your sake
    and you did not know it,
    you are sure to feel sorry for your self.
    Every struggle is fought
    by the working class
    not for individual sake,
    but for class sake. Like an ecologist,
    he is fighting for a flower or a plant or a tree
    or even a moth, a sparrow or a falcon.
    We can easily remonstrate struggles
    and the inconvenience they cause you.
    But it is a sacrifice of multifaceted kind;
    first you fight for others forfeiting your subsistence;
    you are scolded not for a deed done for you,
    but for the whole mankind;
    You call it a class, I say it's mankind.
