Social Mobility

The priestly class is 
deemed higher in any 
society and those who 
dispose the dead are 
kept lower.

But even among Brahmins 
those who assist cremations 
are kept lower. 
They can't marry 
higher up.

Then there's a priestly 
class among Dalits.
Who look down upon 
other Dalits.

A hierarchy nesting
inside a hierarchy,
This seems to be a venn 
diagram problem.

And while solving this,
somewhere a math teacher
who's a lower Brahmin,
is gonna lock eyes with
a student who's a 
Priestly Dalit.

The tension of social 
mobility between would 
give birth to a bridge, 
via which, other people 
are gonna go beyond 
caste and hold on to 
beta division-

that's class.
