Abhijit Naskar
“When world cries blood
(The Sonnet)

When world cries blood,
your blood ought to boil.
If you feel nothing at all,
you're a stain upon the soil.

Fire in blood you can't inherit,
Wake up to duty and ignite yourself.
Second hand souls boast bloodline,
Humans weave nobility with actions.

When the world cries blood,
backbone oughta spark thunder.
If you feel nothing at all,
file for a bankrupt character.”
Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

“Taha rolls her eyes. With her short skirt and pink tank-top, no one imagines how invincible she is during combat. Her door-sign reads: Don’t ditch pink to act strong—in pink font.”
Misba, The High Auction
