Sonnet of Occupation

With just weeks of lockdown,
You all feel restless and bland.
That is how everyday life is,
For people in occupied land.
Imagine living your whole life,
Subject to restriction and suspicion.
Ask a Palestinian or a Kashmiri,
They'll reveal the face of occupation.
Life, liberty and happiness,
Are the rights of every being.
Whenever a government violates them,
Civilized humanity must intervene.
I call to all humans far and near,
Rest not till statehood is declared.

Sonnet of Palestine

I don't want to wage a war,
All I want is to raise a family.
I don’t want your empty pity,
All I seek is a little humanity.
To call genocide as self-defense,
May be textbook diplomacy.
Killing innocents to keep control,
Is an act of terrorist hypocrisy.
Brokers may bring ceasefire,
But they can never give us liberty.
All they do is arrange assemblies,
While we suffer through the century.
So I say to you o people in luxury,
Look at us and you'll know your fallacy.

The Gaza Sonnet (All Free or None Free) | Abhijit Naskar | Yaralardan Yangın Doğar

Al-Shams to Alpha Centauri,
All occupied lands will be free.
Till there is smile on every face,
All happiness is blasphemy.

Happiness is not an imperial merch,
Freedom is no colonizer’s heirloom.
Joy is no bigot’s ancestral bequest,
Earth is not a zionist hand-me-down.

Divide and rule is the law of animals,
Unite and integrate is law of humanity.
One human life is worth more,
than all the gas reserves underneath.

Gaza is not a place, Gaza is a wake up call,
to the peace-crying humanity.
Awake, Arise, O Citizens of Earth –
Till all of us are free, none of us are free!

True Meaning of Christmas | Abhijit Naskar | Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

If you cared about the thousands of children suffering today in Gaza, as much you care about the birth of one middle eastern child two thousand years ago, perhaps then, you could’ve understood the true meaning of Christmas.

As of now, Christmas is just a festival of hypocrisy – and that too, in the name of a man who gave his life to lift up the fallen. My question is, if you cannot be Christlike in your deeds, what’s the point of all these festivities, which are supposed to be rooted in goodwill towards all, not mindless self-obsession!

Preface – World War Human | Abhijit Naskar | 100 New Earthling Sonnets

There never was a war of the free world against fascism, there was only war between two versions of fascism – because the so-called free world has tortured and massacred more lives than the third reich could only dream of.

There never was a world war between good and evil, there was only war between two evils. There never was a world war against tyranny, there was only war between an established tyrant regime and a rising one. The real first world war has just begun – the war between good and evil – the war between emancipation and occupation – between inclusion and exclusion – between expansion and contraction – between reason and rigidity – between humanity and inhumanity. I call it, World War Human.

And unlike previous times, we won’t win this war by old-fashioned bullets and bombs, or by deceit and diplomacy. The World War Human can only be won by education, and education alone – by an ardent, absolute, unambiguous, unbending, undoctrinated, unphobic, unwhitewashed, decolonized, nonpartisan, gender neutral, valiant, self-correcting and conscientious execution of education.

My Struggle (Sonnet 1500) | Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets

My struggle is to build a world, where
gestapo, mi6, cia, raw, all are history;
where thieves aren’t glorified as heroes,
invasion isn’t sugarcoated as security;

military is found only in books of history,
where guns are displayed in museum as relics;
nukes are just defense against celestial threat,
where green sources power all things electric;

where it’s illegal to amass limitless wealth –
food, housing, education, healthcare, are free;
where no one can be politician without license,
where citizens listen to experts, not celebrity.

My struggle is to build a world, where
human rights is a human issue, not legal one;
where equality is not a belief, but the norm –
where human is neither ape nor robot, but human.

Planet Palestine (Sonnet 1503) | Abhijit Naskar | World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

Whole world is my promised land,
Which part will you invade!
When the entire planet is Palestine,
It is Israel that will fade.

Gone are the days of unchallenged tyranny,
Gone are the days of exploiting native trust.
In the past you got away with many Rushmores;
Try it today, you’ll end up another Liz Truss.

You can have your puny guns and bombs,
I have an arsenal far mightier than thee.
Colonial apes may fund your homicidalism,
I have the entire humankind backing me.

When governments are on one side,
and humankind on the other,
that’s the first sign of democracy,
and curtain call for the occupier.

We the people promise our planet to Palestine.
What’ll you do now – call us all anti-semite!

Azad Earth Army (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Little Planet on The Prairie

From river to the sea,
Al Shams to Alpha Centauri,
I’ll radicalize each child into
a volcanic veteran of inclusivity.

Palestine, Kashmir, America,
every territory will be humanized,
without resorting to canon calls,
for my soldiers are walking dynamite!

Give me a speck of spinal nerve,
I’ll weave awaken bulldozing thunder!
My patriots are keeper of the world,
not stately pawn of terror and blunder.

Awake, arise, adopt the world,
let no monkey nationalize your humanity.
Final call to a free* world, you,
o bravehearts, are my *Azad Earth Army!

Palestine is the new Poland (The Controversial Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Dunya Benim, Sorumluluk Benim: Little Planet on The Prairie


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.

Human I Stand (Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood


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.

They are a step in the right direction,
humankind’s first step to correct itself.
By no means they imply a flawless world,
rather they reflect a world where bigotries
and atrocities aren’t considered proud heritage.

No one on earth should suffer to
satisfy someone’s puritanical beliefs.
Human I stand, from the river to the sea,
I won’t let no wildlife normalize inhumanity.
