What I learnt from haters (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | The Divine Refugee

In the recent years I’ve come to realize,
when you stand firm on rights and equality,
seeing you as threat, they brand you dictator.
When you have no firm conviction whatsoever,
you ain’t someone worth noting, just a number.

I’m flattered when they make serious time out
to call me stupid, meaningless and narcissist.
If intolerance of prejudice makes me a dictator,
Hundred Hitlers fall pale to my God complex.

I don’t consider creatures like Winnie human,
who have no regard for rights over tradition.
If this makes you think, I’m megalomaniacal,
it’s alright, you are just lost children.

I once said, no one is inferior to no one,
except those who think of others as such.
If this simple truth makes me the enemy,
ecology 101: sun always repels the badgers.
