The Caretaker, Sonnet | Abhijit Naskar | Dunya Benim, Sorumluluk Benim: Little Planet on The Prairie
What was good enough for the
fiction fearing men of the past,
is no yardstick for the civilized us.
Just like what we carve out for ourselves,
may not be sufficient for future generations.
Every generation must carve their own destiny,
taking lessons from the past, not edicts.
No generation is authority of the other,
each generation must write their
own rights, lingo and ethics.
Every generation needs caretakers,
and the caretaker of your generation is you.
There is no such thing as a golden age,
age gets golden or gutted by the likes of you.
What was good enough for the apes,
is no yardstick for the sapiens.
My world, my responsibility –
voices the Caretaker thundersaint!
