People Vs Supreme Court (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Statement on Supreme Court’s Decision to overturn Roe v. Wade
When the Supreme Court behaves prehistoric,
Every human must become an activist.
When the gatekeepers of law behave barbarian,
Every civilian must come down to the street.
When people are stripped off their basic rights,
By some bigoted and shortsighted gargoyles.
We the people must take back the reins,
And put the politicians in their rightful place.
We need no guns and grenades, we need no ammo,
Unarmed and unbent we stand against savagery.
Till every woman obtains their right to choice,
None of us will sit quiet in compliant apathy.
Every time the cradle of justice becomes criminal,
It falls upon us civilians to be justice incorruptible.

Time to take law into our hands | Amantes Assemble
It’s time to take law into our hands as unarmed and unyielding order incarnate.
Citizen Vain (The Sonnet)
All the law in the world cannot bring order,
In a society where the citizens are indifferent.
A citizen responsible is a society responsible,
A citizen on guard is a society with upliftment.
If the citizen can’t tell right from wrong on their own,
It’s not order but merely a revolting illusion of order.
Take away all punishment and you shall soon find out,
Law only forces repression, not reformation of disorder.
Without an actual reformation of the citizen’s mind,
Sooner or later all nations end up in fundamentalist dump.
Pay less attention to law, and more attention to education,
Humanizing education is the only cure for the hoodlums.
In a world full of citizen vain, be a citizen vanguard!
There can be no order, unless the citizens stand on guard.

Love-Abiding Law (The Sonnet) | Esperanza Impossible
Love is the master-key to social troubles,
Law is but an inferior and cheaper stand-in.
Instead of obsessing over cooking up more law,
Let’s shift the focus on loving and caring.
Do you think love is nothing but a commercial object,
With your olympian authority which you can legalize!
Who do you think you are that you’ll legalize order!
You can legalize toys, telephones, not love and light.
Know your place, o puny apes, on a puny little blue dot,
Before standing as authority bearing your badge of law.
There are more things in the vastness of time and space,
Than dreamt up in your paleolithic construct of law.
An ounce of love brings more change than a 100 pounds of law.
What we need is not law-abiding love, but love-abiding law.

I’m Above The Law (The Sonnet) | Himalayan Sonneteer
Yes, I am above the law,
So is every single world builder.
It’s only the apes without brain who,
Are tamed by the medieval lawmaker.
If you are to be a civilized being,
It is your duty to rise above the law.
If you can’t tell right from wrong,
It is common sense you lack, not law.
It is nothing but a juvenile democracy,
That is founded on spineless law-abidance.
Civilized democracy instills accountability,
What it doesn’t demand is boneheaded obedience.
You have a heart, brain and spine, why not use them!
Stand up o citizen justice, and keep the law as servant.

Final Human (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Radioactive Ruhunium
Only animal I’m afraid of is myself,
When I’m scared, I lose control.
I am the height of violence extreme,
Kept tamed by conscience whole.
I am the maker of all law and order,
I decide what’s right, what’s wrong.
I am a grenade waiting to go off,
At the sight of humanity done wrong.
To the helpless I’m humility incarnate,
To the discriminated I’m love unbound.
To all intolerance I am judgment day,
To paranoid hate I’m piety paramount.
If I don’t bulldoze your castles of prejudice,
Abhijit Vicdansaadet Naskar is not my name.
Till the last ounce of hate is obliterated,
The final human will emerge time and again.

I am Justice absolute | Abhijit Naskar | Bulletproof Backbone
don’t care if my blood courses through your veins, I only care whether my ideas electrify your nerves. I don’t give a damn if I leave no bloodly offspring, my sole objective is to leave behind godly bravehearts.
I am Justice absolute – Jehovah absolute – Jehennem (Hell) absolute! I am Conscience absolute – Christ absolute – Cosmos absolute! I am Harmony absolute – Human absolute – Heaven absolute!
I am the first prophet and the last – I am the keeper of eternity. I am time, I am space – I am the beginning of love, and the obliteration of inhumanity.
I am but that – that one ceaseless truth,
aspiring across all fallacies untrue.
I am but that – that one untainted light,
shining as proof of time yet to come true.
Every time this prehistoric world even dreams of tyranny, bearing its political, bureaucratic, legal, or religious badge of authoritarianism, remember who you are. You are brahmanda (cosmos) in a brain – you are the first, second and last coming – you are the one who parted Red Sea – you are but consciousness dawning.
