War Ain’t Peace (The Sonnet)
Hudson, Thames, Nile and Sindhu,
All are now red with the blood of the innocent.
Who is to blame for such catastrophe,
Everybody who accepts arms race as upliftment.
Suited savages have seduced them to believe,
That bigger the military greater the pride.
It’s necessary for politicians to sell nationalism,
Or else their loyal subjects will all get untied.
Acts of national security only breed insecurity,
Which forces people to seek comfort in weapons.
True, lasting stability and serenity of a nation,
Comes only from a universal desire for union.
Let the politicians sell war in the name of peace.
Why must the citizens buy it like rats chasing cheese!

Humanitarian Nuclear Physics (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Greatest Country on Earth is Earth
One nuclear warhead contains 9 lbs of plutonium,
Which can electrify 2000 households for a year.
Yet you use that majestic power of atom as pawn,
In your stoneage geopolitical games of fear.
When monkeys crack the mystery of the atom,
Without developing any civilized purpose,
They go blind with the madness of power,
Atom bombs become newage arrows and spears.
Hypnotized by the mindless pursuit of “could”,
Apes rarely ever stop to question if they should!
What good is such science without conscience,
What good is a scientist without a vision for good!
Either atom bombs will be obsolete as bow and arrow,
Or humankind will go extinct like dinosaurs tomorrow.

Fossil fuel is not the problem, the real danger is greed | Abhijit Naskar | Bulletproof Backbone
Neither fossil fuel nor artificial intelligence is the problem – the real danger is greed. Do you think everybody will live happily ever after, once you replace fossil fuel with green energy! No – they won’t! Apekind will simply use green energy to power their greed instead of oil and gas. They will use green energy to wage war, they’ll use green energy to kill people. US military is already developing a high-endurance unmanned solar powered aircraft, to be used as a communication relay platform and for surveillance. Besides, solar powered reconnaissance drones have already been in military use for some years now, in various parts of the world. Which means, the planet will be safer, but the people will be in just as much muck as they are today.
Apparently, there is a limit to fossil fuel, but there is no limit to human stupidity. Apekind will find one way or another to continue with their “kill or be killed” nonsense, just like any other animal in the wild. And every time government officials will make the same old statement, “it’s necessary for national security” – just as power hungry tribal chiefs have been saying since our jungle days, before putting millions upon millions to death!
So, my question is – what good is green energy if it’s used for the same inhuman purposes as fossil fuel!
Treat greed first, you fools – treat greed first! Then you won’t need to make a ton of empty promises and winded policies for a sustainable future – because where there is no greed, sustainability flows like spring water. Treat greed first, then I shall call you humankind – until then, you are nothing but apekind. Without the green of heart, what green apes, what oil apes – all energy leads to but one color – the color of blood – red! Energy used to sustain the same old paradigm of greed, control and disparity, is anything but clean – no matter what it says on the label.

Topnut, DOD Sonnet | Abhijit Naskar | Bulletproof Backbone
Take a fancy celebrity,
put them in military uniform,
suddenly everybody is a patriot.
That’s how primitive this world is,
everybody yells about world peace,
while living in militarist gutter.
The best propaganda is one that,
does not feel like propaganda;
Best way to legally recruit terrorists,
is to portray terrorism as valor.
Best way to sustain the revenues of war,
is to showcase war as peace-intervention.
Till you grow up and denounce all militarism,
don’t you dare call yourself a civilized human!
We scientists, doctors, nurses and teachers,
forget self-preservation for life-preservation,
while primitive civilians of a primitive planet,
throw all that away, hypnotized by patriotism.
