Pilgrims and Nazis (Sonnet 2220) – Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

The terrorists you call pilgrims,
did not immigrate, they invaded,
pillaged and plundered a continent,
they even plagiarized its name into
a symbol of atrocity and violation,

just like the nazis heisted
a holy symbol from the east,
and turned the sacred Swastika
into the global icon of hate.

History books are all messed up,
none teaches the history of humans –
world history was written by animals,
to maintain their narrative unchallenged.

The West broke the world, now
the human race gotta resurrect the world,
offspring of the terrorists and terrorized alike –
but we can do nothing at all,
till we decolonize our mind.

Leaves of Ash (Divine Violence, Sonnet) ― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop



You know why the West makes such
a song and dance about nonviolence,
because when your entire empire
is built on systemic extermination
of living cultures and communities,

it really helps if you simultaneously propagate
a favorable ideal of nonresistance to evil,
this way you can criminalize the very thought
of revolution, not only legally, but also morally.

Nonviolence has never been about human rights,
nonviolence is western propaganda,
commodified to maintain moral superiority,
if the tortured communities ever dare to resist.

Revolution is a fundamental pillar of justice,
don’t succumb to hypocritical hogwash –
colonizers should be seen, and not heard,
their philosophy, their theology, all come last.

I’m not talking about exceptional ideas,
good ideas should be studied as individual ideas,
not as western ideas, and western philosophies
must never be prioritized as default literature.
