99% of the world’s human rights
violations are manufactured by the west,
either directly or retrospectively.
No wonder, China is so strict about limiting
western influence on the national psyche!
China is right to ban our entire western internet,
Wouldn’t you do the same if you had the might!
If you were self sufficient enough, wouldn’t you do
the same to the moron whose biggest contribution
to the world has been genocide, partisan, apartheid!
Every parent tries their best to keep
their children away from bad influence.
You ain’t qualified to speak of liberty
till you take off your western glasses.
Political correctness is not social justice,
any more than bigoted boneheadedness is.
Moral sensitivity is just mark of judgmentality,
till we disinfect ourselves from our westernness.

Apartheid Sonnet | Abhijit Naskar | The Divine Refugee
Integration 101: I don’t exist,
that’s my law of integration.
Had I not told you my name,
it’d be impossible for you
to know my culture and nation.
Any ape can boast about its culture,
I’ll die roaring for all but my own.
I am local of a borderblind world,
something illegible to the cavegrown.
Borders are glorified apartheid,
Passports are glorified bus pass.
No peace can ever come to light,
from the doings of apartheid heart.
Latinos regard me as latino,
Americans reckon I’m american,
Muslims consider me a muslim,
that’s how I’ve lived as a human.
