Diagnosis: Patriotism (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets
You know what distinguishes
a reformist from a terrorist!
The capacity to destroy the world,
yet choosing not to.
The capacity to press the button,
yet choosing not to.
The capacity to pull the trigger,
yet choosing not to.
The capacity to oblige the state,
but choosing humanity instead.
The capacity to be patriotic,
yet choosing to be human instead.
War is the symptom,
patriotism is the disease.
Terrorists harbor patriotism,
Reformists harbor peace.
