My Pronoun is People (Inclusivity Sonnet, 1266) | Abhijit Naskar | Yaralardan Yangın Doğar
My pronoun is people,
I’m divergent, yet invincible.
I am straight, I am queer;
I am civilian, I am seer.
Spirit of life, I – am universal!
Call me disabled or differently able,
Call me collective or individual.
Fleshly forms I’ve got plenty,
All run by same love and liberty –
Culture supreme is inclusion.
Each heart is a shelter for another,
Each life is sanctuary for another.
Blasting all traditions of divide
into cinders with knowledge-dynamite,
we shall emerge as each other’s keeper.
You ask, what am I – I say, I am human,
Better yet, I’m human’s idea of a human.
I am but the human absolute –
morally unbending ‘n divinely cute –
ever evolving testament to expansion.
