Colonials Go Home! (Forest Fascist Reserve, Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

Colonials go home, not to England
or Europe, but straight to the jungle!
Only place wild animals are beautiful,
is in the dog-eat-dog spaces of the wild.

Don’t worry, once in a while we’ll visit,
like we visit any of your fellow animals.
If anything, visiting you will inspire us
further, to never deviate from integration.

Nevertheless, there is still another way,
you don’t need to be deported back to the jungle.
If there is even a smidgen of humanity in you,
now is the time to bring it out, and get help.

Otherwise, we can easily trace your family tree,
back to the time your family lived in it.
Once we do, all nine billion of us will chip in,
and hire a couple of cargo planes to deport
all you bigots to a forest fascist reserve.
