“Visvavitamin (The Sonnet)

It's a sad state of affairs when
you get used to the sight of blood,
glorifying aggression as bravehearted.
It's a sad state of affairs when
you feel good dressing up for gala,
while children are being bombed to death.

Sometimes aggression may be our last resort,
but never normalize it as civilized way of life.
The beast in me knows well to crush bones,
but the reformer I am, works to preserve life.

It's a sad state of affairs when
prejudice is glorified as piety,
and curiosity is branded blasphemy,
when lies are honored as liberty,
and empathy is declared unholy.

Bandaid to the broken, backbone to the fallen.
Vital to world-light, we are Visvavitamin.”
Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Better a refugee than prisoner
(Sonnet 1555)

Eon upon eon I seek for a refuge,
Land upon land I receive but coldness.
Last I stand at your door exhausted,
Spare some warmth, for my heart freezes!

Stateless, cultless, I walk the planet.
Restless, sleepless, I live a dream.
Friendless, loveless, I brave the mission.
The being is dissolved for the beacon to beam.

Wield, I do, my conscience as compass.
Wear, I do, my backbone as battery.
Bouts of tragedy only amplifies my thunder,
Nature's bare mockery makes miracle of me.

Borders are for hoarders, my home is the world.
Better a refugee to the sea than prisoner of the pond.”
Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Palestine is the new Poland
(The Controversial Sonnet)

Życie jest jednym wielkim uprzedzeniem,
chyba że kwestionujesz wszystko.
Dobroć jest odważniejsza niż okrucieństwo,
Wszędzie jest dom, każdy jest rodziną.

Płoń tak jasno, świat ożywa,
Służba to najwyższa mądrość.
Obudź się, powstań i śmiało ogłoś:
mój świat, moja odpowiedzialność.

You should be more disgusted at
Churchill and Columbus than Hitler,
the fact that you are not,
shows how ludicrously little you're
aware of humanitarian disasters.

Palestine is the new Poland,
yet hypocrites only shout for Ukraine.
Tears must fit liberty's narrative,
if not, they're thrusted terrorist blame.

Mein Kampf ist nicht vorbei, bis alle frei sind,
Surrender not to the narrative of fake freedom.
Greatest freedom is freedom from selfishness,
a capacity mastered only by the living human.”
Abhijit Naskar, Little Planet on The Prairie: Dunya Benim, Sorumluluk Benim

Abhijit Naskar
“You know, what terms like woke, feminist, anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-colonialist, anti-monarchist, anti-nationalist, pro-choice, really mean! They imply a willful involvement to free ourselves from primitive practices, as opposed to wishful thinking of tradition forcing the living to adapt to the dead.”

“Human I stand, from the river to the sea, I won't let no wildlife normalize inhumanity.”

“Gaza is not for sale,
Greenland is not for sale,

Planet Earth is not real estate,
to pander to your predatory psychopathy.
If you are so hard up for cash, we can all
chip in to buy you some good ol shock therapy.”

“Rx for Fascism (Sonnet)

Gaza is not for sale,
Greenland is not for sale,
Ukraine is not for sale,
Canada is not for sale.

Planet Earth is not real estate,
to pander to your predatory psychopathy.
If you are so hard up for cash, we can all
chip in to buy you some good ol shock therapy.

When someone plays fast and loose with rights
and freedom, their place is either in the jungle
or in a mental institution, not in office.
Fascism, fundamentalism and nationalism,
these are the ultimate mental illness.”
Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

Abhijit Naskar

We stand guard, with no weapon but our dignity.
Reason is our ark, love is our compass -
Colored, White, Muslim and otherwise, together
we shall overcome - All Awake to Humanity!”
