If It Was Now

If it was now that Kabir wrote a thing
Undertrial for apostasy, some would mock him 'kaafir'!
Vidyasagar if now affirmed widow re-marriages
Some won't take time to call him antireligious
If it was now that Lokhitwadi wrote his articles
Some would suggest his end be like...
Be like Gauri, Kalburgi, Pansare and Dhabolkar

Karve or Phules if now educated women
Some would label them as Spoilt by all that is western'
Vitthal Ramji Shinde if now spoke for underprivileged,
Goons would lie 'he instigates violence, an antinational'
Ambedkar if now burnt Manusmriti, boycotted flaws
Some would waste Court's time and charge him...
By abusing penal codes in the law

No matter what some may call them
I will call them Reformers!
I will call them Reformers
It is now and always was and will
I call them Reformers

What was too modern with Socrates
And Spartacus isn't old yet...
Isn't old yet in about a 'two and a half' thousand years
Somewhere in some remote village
Another refusing slave labour or a philosopher
Is still picked for falsely 'being against heritage'
Irony, that hungry remains the farmer...
Asking social-justice makes one 'Antisocial'?
That's what Powerabuser counts it, and an ignorant crowd may call

But I will call
I call them Reformers!
It is now and always was and will
I call them 'Reformers

I will call them Reformers
It is now and always was and will
I call them reformers
