Offsprings of Africa (Black History Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Bulletproof Backbone

If a black family lives
long enough in a cold climate,
in about 100 generations or so,
their descendants will be born white.

This is how the white people were born,
Because we all come from a black mother.
No matter where we live on earth,
We’re all Africans – our homeland, Africa.

Till you get this anthropological fact,
You are but a traitor to earth.
Black History is World History,
We are all offsprings of Africa.

Letter from The Mountaintop (Sonnet 2252) – Abhijit Naskar – Sonnets From The Mountaintop (Cover Reveal)


Cosmos is colored,
all color is kin.
Scarlight makes the mind,
sunlight makes the skin.

Life is nonbinary,
existence is nonbiblical.
When ‘sacred’ is anagram for ‘scared’,
to sin is our Earth Gospel.

Churchill and Columbus belong in the jungle,
loudmouth karens belong in mental institution.
Those who’ve been to the mountaintop,
grow too human for the dunghills of dogma.

Here at the mountaintop, we’re just humans –
no black, no white, no believer, nonbeliever –
here at the mountaintop, we’re each other’s keeper.
