We Are Freedom Fighters (Sonnet 2260) – Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper


Right to leave religion is just
as fundamental as right to religion.
Freedom of dress is just
as important as freedom of the press.

Freedom to breastfeed without shame
is just as sacred as freedom to pray.
Freedom to choose not to have child
is just as respectable as motherhood.

Freedom to love outside tradition
is just as divine as jesus on the mount.
Freedom to dream across color and collar
is just as elemental as drinking water.

Any halfwit can write Declaration of Independence,
while denying people’s rights behind closed doors.
My Declaration of World Independence is this,
rights of another only enhance my own.
