Masterclass for Humans (The Sonnet) | Vande Vasudhaivam
Only the Native Americans are real Americans,
Everybody else is an immigrant.
Before you tell someone to go back to their country,
Start by heading back to Britain yourself.
Only Indigenous people are real Canadians, Kiwis,
and Aussies, everybody else is an immigrant.
Before you yell slurs at an immigrant of today,
Start by heading back to Europe yourself.
Turkey was transformed by one man,
Upon the foundation of thoughts most rational.
Before you bring back the days of fanaticism,
Start by taking down the statues of Mustafa Kemal.
India never had any organized religion,
Brahmin barbarians peddled a myth to have control.
Before you cremate a secular beacon into safron ashes,
Wipe out all memories of Kabir, Ambedkar and Tagore.
From discrimination to assimilation,
That’s how we walk the course of progress.
Till every trace of intolerance is history,
Keep on struggling against mindlessness.
