My Earth, Your Earth (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | The Divine Refugee
My America fosters the
spirit of self-correction,
Your America lies in the
continuation of exploitation.
My England lives in a willful
drive for making amends,
Your England lies in deliberate
denial of historic mess.
My Australia battles to
assimilate those once wronged,
Your Australia boasts proudly
atrocious plunders as tradition.
My India is the most radiant
beacon of multiculturalism,
Your India is a septic tank
of prehistoric nationalism.
I wish I could tell you, you and I
are the same, but we are not.
My earth is a celebration of people,
Your earth is chained to dead customs.
