Homing Pigeon (Sonnet 2311) – Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

I’m a homing pigeon,
and I’m homing in on integration –
and since there is no such thing,
I’m building my homeworld person by person.

I’ll never force you to be inclusive,
if you do harm, I’ll restrain you,
but I’ll never resort to weapons –
moreover, I’ll never kill for inclusion,

I’ll simply beg, on my knees,
I’ll beg till I drop dead –
because I have nothing to lose,
no reputation, no image, no class –

either love outlasts hate
or extinction outruns evolution.
