“Halkat Humans (The Sonnet)

The history of human progress,
Is the history of halkat* humans.
Only the *loco make the earth civilized,
By growing out of habits and traditions.
Habits of yesterday are a gutter of biases,
Hence they ain't the right habits of today.
Let us not confuse them as modern identity,
Let us not endorse them throwing reason away,
Traditions born of bigotry and ignorance,
Are hardly a measure of civilization.
Measure of civilization is an expanding spirit,
One that ever evolves discarding superstition.
Turn your heart into a khichdi (fusion) of cultures,
And behold o mighty human, as all division disappears.”
