Beyond the Nature of Truth (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission
Do you realize how serious the situation is,
Are you aware of the lives ruined by cruelty?
Because if you stay aloof in your cloud castle,
All talk of humanity is but a tale of fantasy.
Can you tell the real from the unreal,
Can you tell facts from fantasy?
I am not talkin’ in terms of neuroscience,
I am askin’ you as a human, of human responsibility.
We can argue about the nature of truth all we want,
But that won’t alleviate the suffering of society.
So the question is, do you know the worth of life,
How far will you go to preserve another’s serenity!
Does human welfare overpower your insecurity?
Or is the self still separate from society?
