“Humanitarian Engineer (The Sonnet)
The burning scent of molten solder
is just as intoxicating to me
as the musky scent of soil drenched
in the first downpour of monsoon.
In the right human hands, a soldering iron
can solder the cracks in accessibility,
while in the hands of just clever apes,
soldering iron cooks up circuits of privilege,
while burning down the bridges of equality.
Any engineer can tell the voltage
of a battery from taste, but only
a humane engineer knows how to put
each volt and amp to humanitarian use.
The burnt fingertips count for something,
only when your innovation is catalyst for good.”
