Blunder Down Under (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

Humans be human, alive and aware,
not tokens of ancestral blunder.
Awake, arise and right the wrongs,
whether in the west or down under.

We gotta fight on the beaches,
We gotta fight on human grounds.
This time we gotta fight as human,
not as puppets to colonial clowns.

Fight as brave lions for sacred inclusivity,
not for saffronication as domesticated cows.
Fight for justice, rejuvenated by reason,
not for prejudice, decreed by apeman vows.

The First Crime Against Humanity | Abhijit Naskar | Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

9/11 destroyed two bustling buildings,
Mayflower destroyed a living continent.
You cannot conceive a nation in liberty
by wiping out a living civilization.

Crime against first nations is
the first crime against humanity.

Hope Gone Sour (American Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army

America is not a country,
America is an abomination.
America is a scourge on
the fabric of time, the
ideal tale of precaution.

America is a living record
of humans regressing to animal.
America is a perfect specimen
of democracy cleverly dismantled.

America is a nation built by
terrorists for the terrorists.
America holds world record for
humanity’s worst of atrocities.

America is a promise of hope gone sour.
America is plague amongst fellowship of powers.

Earth Belongs to The Natives (Sonnet 2401) – Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop



We cannot abolish systemic persecution
without dismantling systemic privilege.
You cannot wipe the slate clean, but you can
take the responsibility and stand to heal.

Colonizers are the second class citizens,
every land first belongs to the indigenous.
Landback is the mother of all movements,
it contains the plight of all First Humans.

Women are indigenous to their own body,
Palestinians are indigenous to palestine;
uncultured crowns and criminal uncles
have no jurisdiction over our Earthright.

Earth belongs to the Natives, settlers are
welcome, but as participant, not head of state.
Somos indígenas, somos indomables –
you can make us houseless, but never homeless.
