“I'll say it again-it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of A needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”
― Jesus Christ

Abhijit Naskar
“Blue Blood & Blue Collar (The Sonnet)

I have nothing against blue blood,
any more than I'm against blue collar.
But blue blood think honor is an heirloom,
while blue collar earn their rightful honor.

That's what I call true human character,
unreliant on some fictitious identity.
Every human must earn their admittance,
into the civilized realm of humanity.

I can still accept any blood, blue or otherwise,
if they have the decency to acknowledge atrocity.
Otherwise, all blue blood are canine incarnate,
unworthy of acknowledgment of their existentiality.

King and president, ceo and janitor,
all are equal, only behavior merits honor.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations
