“Esperanza Impossible Sonnet 5 Our whole life we're taught to live behind the veil, It is forbidden to even dream of removing it. To really seal the deal society calls this tradition, So that we feel guilty if we cross our ancestral limit. This is how habits are proudly passed on as heritage, And bigotry as the highest form of enlightenment. Thus, integration is deemed as the ultimate treachery, And peace remains a matter of armchair amusement. If you are to choose between tradition and humanity, I say, treat your ancestors as children not sage. Those who pass on division and discrimination, Deserve neither seriousness nor allegiance. Truth is not the journey from one veil to another. Truth involves peeling the veil one layer after another.” — Abhijit Naskar
