Esperanza Impossible Sonnet 2

Truth is the pandemic,
Truth is the terror.
My truth versus your truth,
Your truth versus another.
We speak of truth as if it’s a constant,
We chase it as antidote to our insecurity.
Most of our truths bring not understanding,
We cook up truth to fan our self-centricity.
Truth, in truth, is the opposite of stagnation,
Contraction repels all hope for understanding.
Truth is not a fixed point, but an act in motion,
Truth is the courageous act of a mind expanding.
Hence, to seek security one must not seek truth.
To seek truth, with security you must cut all truce.

Wardenclyffe Human (Sonnet) ― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop



Give the monkeys cinema and sports,
they’ll sleep through armageddon;
cinema is a great propaganda device,
sports are an opiate of distraction.

Good filmmaking elevates the mind,
but fanatic fans only carry manure;
playing sports elevates the body,
but backseat players are raving boar.

The average monkey may not know,
that the earth spins around the sun,
but ask about their favorite celebrity,
and they become wikipedia in person.

Vegetable, you are not, so don’t go soggy;
nothing more sad than brain becoming bacon!
You are Wardenclyffe, you are Nalanda,
you’re the source and sink of civilization.
