Nukes and Peace | Either Reformist or Terrorist

It takes hundreds of years of hard work to build a civilization, and yet with the press of a button we can destroy it all in a day. Let us not press the button my friend. In fact, if we must destroy something let us destroy the very button of destruction, both from outside and inside.

Let us incapacitate every single button of death and destruction, be it technological or psychological, and redirect that energy towards creation and conservation. You see, destroying the nukes mean nothing. Destroy one, another will be built in its place in a matter of months. We have to nuke the hate in us first, so that we no longer feel the need for nukes against our own kind.

However, for the sake of investigation, let us forget the common sense of peace, and talk defense strategy for a moment, in a way that might make sense to world leaders. You see, the best defense against a nuke is not another nuke, but a code. It is the best defense because it is exponentially less expensive.

In a technologically advanced world, the most powerful nation is not the one with nuclear power, but the one with coding power. So, to the so-called leaders of the world I say - if you're still foolishly worried about your neighbor's nuclear capabilities, don't go about wasting billions of dollars on a nuclear program, just spend a fragment of those funds on post-launch warhead hacking.

But then again, it would open up a new realm of problems at a different level, because any nation with exceptional wireless channel manipulation expertise can remotely take over the command of another nation's nuclear warheads. So, at the end of the day, so long as there is animosity among the nations of the world, between mind and mind, sustained by stupid borders and foul ideologies, there is no safe way out.

I'll say it to you plainly. Wasting nuclear power on warheads is a barbaric use of a scientific revolution. Let me elaborate with some numbers.

A single nuclear warhead contains nearly 4 kilograms of Plutonium-239, which in a nuclear power plant can produce sufficient heat to generate about 32 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, that is, 32 Gigawatt-hours (GWh). 1 GWh of electricity powers about 700,000 households for one hour, hence 32 GWh would power about 22.4 million households for one hour. Now, if we divide that number by the number of hours in a year, that is, 8760, we are confronted with an astounding revelation. It is that, the radioactive material from one nuclear warhead can power over two thousand households for a year (2557 to be exact).

And that's just the radioactive material we are talking about. Many more resources are required to set up a nuclear program. The point is, instead of wasting such potent and precious resources on fancy, frivolous and fictitious geopolitical insecurities, let us redirect those resources to alleviate actual, real human suffering from society. Let us use them to empower communities rather than to dominate them - let us use them to elevate the whole of humankind, rather than to downgrade the parts that we do not like. Because by degrading others, we only degrade ourselves, whereas by lifting others, we rise ourselves. Remember, there is no world peace, so long as fear is off the leash.

War is Expensive (The Sonnet) | High Voltage Habib

War is expensive, peace is free,
Yet war is petty, peace is priceless.
War is childish, peace is for adults,
Yet war is complex, peace is child’s play.
War is for fools, peace is for the sage,
Yet sages sustain war, deeming peace foolish.
War is strain on the brain, peace only needs love,
Yet intellectuals justify war, calling peace rubbish.
War is good for maintaining control over the people,
Hence imperialists peddle war in the name of justice.
But all imperialists are the fault of the civilians,
All wars are a failure of our civilized citizenship.
No war is tougher than the civilians of the world.
Exercise that potential to abolish all imperial gall.

The Great Firewall (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

99% of the world’s human rights
violations are manufactured by the west,
either directly or retrospectively.
No wonder, China is so strict about limiting
western influence on the national psyche!

China is right to ban our entire western internet,
Wouldn’t you do the same if you had the might!
If you were self sufficient enough, wouldn’t you do
the same to the moron whose biggest contribution
to the world has been genocide, partisan, apartheid!

Every parent tries their best to keep
their children away from bad influence.
You ain’t qualified to speak of liberty
till you take off your western glasses.

Political correctness is not social justice,
any more than bigoted boneheadedness is.
Moral sensitivity is just mark of judgmentality,
till we disinfect ourselves from our westernness.

Poultry Farm (Sonnet) ― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop



First law of poultry farming:
keep your livestock busy
with trivial problems,
so they stay ever oblivious
to systemic criminal activities.

That’s why the West makes
such a song and dance about Hitler,
so that the actual world criminals
never lose their pedestal of heroic honor.

World War 2 is the ultimate
geopolitical smoke screen,
fed to the livestock religiously,
with Hitler as the moral decoy,

so that Planet Earth never grows
the brain or the backbone to question
the extinction level crimes of the White Allies.

Fascism is not an anomaly,
it’s the Operating System of Mock Democracy.

A Brief History of Earth Cannibals (Sonnet) ― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop



There’s no such thing as slave traders,
get your language straight, you idiots –
they were human traffickers, not traders,
you trade in commodity, not people.

Colonizers were not slave traders,
they were terrorists and traffickers;
settlers are not civilizers,
they are plague upon the civilized world.

The world outside europe was already civilized
beyond the wildest dreams of the europeans,
then those brutes set sail, and the human race
experienced an extinction level catastrophe.

To trade in human lives like livestock
is the savagest form of cannibalism –
white history sells the West as the free world,
but dig into earth history, and you’ll realize,
West is the biggest threat to life and freedom.

Here is some rectified history,
dig up the rest for yourself –
Churchill was a big fat cannibal,
Leopold was an ugly deadly virus,
Columbus was a most wanted terrorist.

What Kind of Progress is This (Sonnet) ― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop



The Earth may be full of skyscrapers,
but the soil is without home –
streets may be full of electric cars,
yet the mind hasn’t moved an inch –

the skies may be full of rockets,
but the heart is buried in the jungle –
outer space may be full of telescopes,
yet the eyes are blind with hate.

No nation is holy, till its streets
are built for walking, not to starve on.
No society is advanced, till no one
is marginal, no matter the innovation.

Innovation is important, but what kind of
a moronic species races to put a man on the moon,
before it takes its homeless off the streets!

How come power hungry algorithms get endowed
with trillions of dollars in investment, yet
starving children dream of leftovers as feast!
