“Naskar's Folly (The Sonnet) If your perception doesn't evolve with time, It's not a sign of conviction but cowardice. So in this sonnet I take it upon myself, to correct my own early follies. In one of my early works I called America, "a great country, built by great people," while the harsh humanitarian fact of earth is, America is a terrorist nation, built by criminals. I once naively asked to 'appreciate the soldiers', while unintentionally undermining peace-activism. That one line has been eating me alive, until in 2023 I declared, "military is legal terrorism." Own up your follies, use them to sharpen your conviction. Mistakes acknowledged are the beginning of illumination.” — Abhijit Naskar
Naskar's Folly (The Sonnet)
If your perception doesn't evolve with time,
It's not a sign of conviction but cowardice.
So in this sonnet I take it upon myself,
to correct my own early follies.
In one of my early works I called America,
"a great country, built by great people,"
while the harsh humanitarian fact of earth is,
America is a terrorist nation, built by criminals.
I once naively asked to 'appreciate the soldiers',
while unintentionally undermining peace-activism.
That one line has been eating me alive, until
in 2023 I declared, "military is legal terrorism."
Own up your follies, use them to sharpen your conviction.
Mistakes acknowledged are the beginning of illumination.
