Height of Human (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | The Humanitarian Dictator
Enter a hall with high
ceiling, and you feel small,
in a room with low ceiling
you feel like a giant.
The height of human
doesn’t depend on numbers,
we judge our height
relative to the world around.
Bigots hate an inclusive world
not because it is unorthodox,
but because it reminds them,
how puny they are – how small.
Hence they lash out at an island
of people, as an island of garbage.
Only garbage are those calling others
as such – time ’tis to hand them sentence.
