Honor He Wrote Sonnet 85
Enough with leaving this world,
In the hands of old fuddy-duddies.
Mark you, I ain't talkin' about age,
I am talkin' about mental maturity.
Long enough we've allowed tradition,
To wreak havock on our precious planet.
It's time for reason and nonrigidity,
To stand up and take charge, all unbent.
Inhumanity persists in our world,
Because the humans give a consensual wave.
It's time for the grown-ups to grow up and,
Redeem reins from those with both feet in the grave.
Ancient relics belong in museum, not in driver's seat.
It's for the young of head 'n heart to get the society lit.

Illumination Manifest (Youth Sonnet, 1528) | Abhijit Naskar | World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets
Youth are the cure
for all dividing insanity.
You are the antidote
to all bewitching animosity.
Don’t confuse youth as a measure
of agist conventionality.
Youth is but a sanctifying dawn,
out of the dusk of rigidity.
Youth is the spirit of play
with the forces of ominosity.
Youth is the conquest of death
into the daring pastures of duty.
Youth are absolution to habits of death.
Youth are walking illumination manifest.
for all dividing insanity.
You are the antidote
to all bewitching animosity.
Don’t confuse youth as a measure
of agist conventionality.
Youth is but a sanctifying dawn,
out of the dusk of rigidity.
Youth is the spirit of play
with the forces of ominosity.
Youth is the conquest of death
into the daring pastures of duty.
Youth are absolution to habits of death.
Youth are walking illumination manifest.
