DNA & Race (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets
Ancestral roots count for nothing,
modern humans are identified by behavior.
In the end, all roots lead to Africa –
transcending roots we lay the human culture.
Beyond markers of immediate biological family,
DNA ancestry tests are practically meaningless.
There is no genetic test for ethnicity –
science declares sanctions on racism, not validation.
There is no White DNA, Black DNA.
There is no Muslim DNA, Jewish DNA.
There is no Aryan DNA, Dravidian DNA.
We’re made of stuff of the stars,
why do you still rot in the jungle gutter!
If you are seeking validation
for your bigotry and prejudice,
all we scientists can offer you are
directions to the nearest psychiatrist.
