That Day I’ll Call You Human (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

I shall call you all human,
the day you bring down all borders,
like you brought down the Berlin wall.

I shall call you all human,
the day you abolish all military,
like you abolished the SS.

I shall call you all human,
the day you eradicate fundamentalism,
like you eradicated polio.

I shall call you all human,
the day you ban the oligarchs,
like you tackled corona.

If you can’t be a tsunami, be a flash flood –
if you can’t be a flash flood, be a garden hose,
and wash away the inhumanities around you.
