Books Over Bombs (The Sonnet)

Bombs kill terrorists,
Books kill terrorism.
Missiles kill extremists,
Mindfulness kills extremism.
Guns kill supremacists,
Goodness kills supremacy.
Law restrains cruel people,
Love reforms cruelty.
Sarin cripples the malicious,
Service cures malice.
C4 impairs the prejudiced,
Curiosity treats prejudice.
Violence can be revolution no more.
For all degradation kindness is the cure.

Born Ape, Die Human (Antiseptic Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets

I’m born an ape,
but I won’t die an ape,
I’ll die the most spectacular
human that ever lived –

blasphemously tolerant,
immeasurably expansive,
impractically unbending,
impossibly inclusive.

The sun always stings like antiseptic,
for lies lull with comfort of narcotics.
Give me ten brains, hearts and spines,
I’ll give you a planet primed with peace.

Democracy on Drugs, Sonnet (Operation Opium) – Abhijit Naskar, The First Supper


Revolution a day keeps corruption away,
freethinking days prevent genocidal nights.
Citizens without brain leads to democracy on drugs,
paranoia is lifeblood for power-hungry parasites.

Parasites thrive on gaslighting neighbors,
peaceful coexistence is a threat to political power.
Politicians remain safe through war and drought,
it’s the people who pay with blood, money and tears.

Parasites don’t have nationality,
parasites don’t have religion,
parasites only have a bottomless hunger
to keep the throne by calculated cleansing.

Nationalism has nothing to do with culture,
fundamentalism has nothing to do with religion.
Win a war, lose a war, politicians lose nothing,
living off domesticated sheep comatosed by opium.
