“Beyond Borders and Dogma (Sonnet 1590) Monkeys obsess over chunks of land, takes a human to home the world. Leeches obsess over guns and badges, takes a human to deck the halls. Beyond borders and dogma, beyond division and doctrine, beyond malignant maleficence, everyone is my kith and kin. Any ape can boast about their culture, I'll die roaring for every culture on earth, except my own. Monkeys obsess over chunks of land, I stand guard till all are one. Nationalists mark borders by raising guns, like dogs mark their territory by raising legs. Monkeys seek refuge in archaic sovereignty, Human am I, my refuge is the human race.” — Abhijit Naskar
Beyond Borders and Dogma
(Sonnet 1590)
Monkeys obsess over chunks of land,
takes a human to home the world.
Leeches obsess over guns and badges,
takes a human to deck the halls.
Beyond borders and dogma,
beyond division and doctrine,
beyond malignant maleficence,
everyone is my kith and kin.
Any ape can boast about their culture,
I'll die roaring for every culture
on earth, except my own.
Monkeys obsess over chunks of land,
I stand guard till all are one.
Nationalists mark borders by raising guns,
like dogs mark their territory by raising legs.
Monkeys seek refuge in archaic sovereignty,
Human am I, my refuge is the human race.
