Justice Beyond Month (Sonnet 1182) | Visvavictor
Pride that ends with the end of June,
is but an episode of looney tunes.
Divergence that dies with April’s wake,
is no inclusion but bark of buffoons.
Black history that ends with the end of February,
is not solidarity but a hashtag cacophony.
Women’s history that ends with the end of March,
is no celebration but a sacrilege of equality.
When AAPI are only visible in the month of May,
It ain’t no visibility but a mockery of life.
When nativeness is welcome till October 15th,
It ain’t integration but desecration of light.
Awareness is justice when it reduces prejudice.
But one that’s trendy only in specific months,
is no awareness but a different kind of malice.
Acceptance is awareness, awareness is life.
100 calendars fall short to celebrate mindlight.

Pilgrims and Nazis (Sonnet 2220) – Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper
The terrorists you call pilgrims,
did not immigrate, they invaded,
pillaged and plundered a continent,
they even plagiarized its name into
a symbol of atrocity and violation,
just like the nazis heisted
a holy symbol from the east,
and turned the sacred Swastika
into the global icon of hate.
History books are all messed up,
none teaches the history of humans –
world history was written by animals,
to maintain their narrative unchallenged.
The West broke the world, now
the human race gotta resurrect the world,
offspring of the terrorists and terrorized alike –
but we can do nothing at all,
till we decolonize our mind.
