When Calls The Kainat (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir
No matter how many years go by,
how many decades, how many centuries,
there’ll always be some people who’d
call me a fraud – don’t be upset,
don’t hold a grudge – nothing good
ever comes out of bearing grudge,
just let them be – let them be and
let them go, because I forgive them.
Let them hate their head off,
seeds of heart are already planted.
Apes throw tantrum when they are insecure,
pursuit of delusion soothes the vegetated.
When calls the Kainat*, chatter of
monkeys turn faint echoes from the past.
*Cosmos chimes in my chambers of heart –
veritas est pons, pons est veritas.

Practical Theology (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets
Not sheep, not wolf, be human –
graduate from dogma to divinity.
Take theology out of the sky and
place it in the heart of humanity.
From stars to soil to synapses,
arrangement of atoms dictates reality.
From inanimate to animate to sapient,
humanity is an affair of cosmic serendipity.
All superstitions are practiced as truth,
all entitlement is passed on as enlightenment.
Acts of dogma are perpetrated as divinity,
love-n-reason feels dehumanizing to the intolerant.
Hallucinations are the foundation of perception,
delusions are the foundation of persecution.
Day you grow up to distinguish between the two,
you shall become a pillar of civilization.
