“The Great Activist (Sonnet) The world doesn't need another climate summit, the world needs a climate summon, and not from some fair-weather activist that jumps from one trend to another, like privileged white women hop from pseudoscience to pseudoscience - the world needs a climate summon from the commoners of the world, everyday ordinary people with a mundane job and a mundane life - when these people sense the immediate emergency that the planet faces, then no amount of performative policy will be required anymore, because there is no greater environmental stabilizer than commoners jolted to duty - the greatest activist is the conscientious commoner.” — Abhijit Naskar
The Great Activist (Sonnet)
The world doesn't need another climate summit,
the world needs a climate summon,
and not from some fair-weather activist
that jumps from one trend to another,
like privileged white women hop from
pseudoscience to pseudoscience -
the world needs a climate summon
from the commoners of the world,
everyday ordinary people with
a mundane job and a mundane life -
when these people sense the immediate
emergency that the planet faces,
then no amount of performative policy
will be required anymore,
because there is no greater environmental
stabilizer than commoners jolted to duty -
the greatest activist is the conscientious commoner.
