The First Supper (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets

It ends with me,
toxic masculinity ends with me,
religious intolerance ends with me –

superstition ‘n conspiracy ends with me,
prejudice and puritanism ends with me –
jungle nationalism ends with me,
animal fundamentalism ends with me –

buying into a sheepish
sinner mindset ends with me,
breaking out into a predatory
wolf mindset ends with me –

segregated spaces, both outside
and inside, end with me –
we live under one sky,
we breathe the same air,
it’s time we join each other
for the first supper.
