“All Roads Lead to People (Sonnet) What the world needs is character, character civilized enough to prioritize benevolence over borders, awake enough to tell right from wrong, and not kowtow to cannibal ancestors, alive enough to value first the welfare of the living over the last wishes of the dead, human enough to identify as human, beyond the gaslighting spell of prejudiced fairytales. What burns the bigots most is an unbending flame of inclusion, what the world needs is character, radiant with loving assimilation. All roads spring from people, and they lead back to the people. Whenever we deviate from each other, we are bound to end back in the jungle.” — Abhijit Naskar
All Roads Lead to People (Sonnet)
What the world needs is character,
character civilized enough to
prioritize benevolence over borders,
awake enough to tell right from wrong,
and not kowtow to cannibal ancestors,
alive enough to value first the welfare of
the living over the last wishes of the dead,
human enough to identify as human, beyond
the gaslighting spell of prejudiced fairytales.
What burns the bigots most is
an unbending flame of inclusion,
what the world needs is character,
radiant with loving assimilation.
All roads spring from people,
and they lead back to the people.
Whenever we deviate from each other,
we are bound to end back in the jungle.
