Demilitarization Quotes

“Stronger the military,
stupider the citizens.
Louder the ammunition,
lousier the education.

More titanic the tanks,
more pathetic the primates.
World in trance of arms,
is a planet of the apes.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Democracy on Drugs, Sonnet (Operation Opium)

Revolution a day keeps corruption away,
freethinking days prevent genocidal nights.
Citizens without brain leads to democracy on drugs,
paranoia is lifeblood for power-hungry parasites.

Parasites thrive on gaslighting neighbors,
peaceful coexistence is a threat to political power.
Politicians remain safe through war and drought,
it's the people who pay with blood, money and tears.

Parasites don't have nationality,
parasites don't have religion,
parasites only have a bottomless hunger
to keep the throne by calculated cleansing.

Nationalism has nothing to do with culture,
fundamentalism has nothing to do with religion.
Win a war, lose a war, politicians lose nothing,
living off domesticated sheep comatosed by opium.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“Never Serve Your Nation (Sonnet)

Educate your children never to serve your nation;
to serve the nation makes monkey out of human,
killing on the basis of nationality and religion.

If you wanna serve your nation,
serve through science, serve through art,
serve through music, literature, industry,
but never through military.

However, if you wanna make crime your career,
with all the glorious decorations -
kill one person, it's murder -
kill in bulk, it's patriotism.

Soldiers are just glorified webcam models,
standing erect to serve political libido.
Be the human your flesh appears to be,
or go back to the jungle, your mind is suited so.

Science, arts, music, innovation,
that's how you serve a nation.
There is no greater dipsomaniac
profession, than militarist infestation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“Kill one, it's murder - kill in bulk, it's patriotism.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“The case for peace is not state vs terrorism, the case for peace is citizens vs states of earth.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

“Apes in pulpits and parliament halls,
chanting bruality as song of the braves -
apes who crave war to feel worthy,
find honor in pinning medals on graves.”

“Citizen is The Leader (Sonnet)

I have made a few amendments in my own canon,
I don't mean going back and removing passages,
as if they never existed, for that's deception,
rather I point out my errors myself, so you know,
I ain't infallible, on occasion I have been wrong.

My main two mistakes were with America 'n soldiers,
I looked upon both with respect in my early years,
until it dawned on me, America is a terrorist state,
and all soldiers are mere puppets to warmongers.

All governments are a facade,
all politicians are merely actors.
In a civilized world citizen is the leader,
obsolete is the profession of world leaders.

In a civilized world I could spend my days writing
mushy poetry, sparing the headache of human rights.
But alas, that is not the case, hence, I'm restless,
sleepless, vacationless, in kindling the human light.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“In the opera of war, peace is fugitive.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“Fugitive Peace (Sonnet 2219)

In the opera of war, peace is fugitive -
thinking soldiers are no good to state,
either you kill without question, and grab
your medal, or get discharged dishonorably.

Thinking citizens are no good to democracy,
either you obey blind or be branded a terrorist.
Either you hold your mouth, mind and backbone,
or be jailed as an anarchist.

If you want to be an actor,
don't go to film school,
become an intern to some politician.
Some say secularism is in their blood,
some say liberty, all the while being
the posterboys of persecution.

No politician will prioritize peace,
if they did, they would be out of business.
War is the currency of political power -
abandon fanaticism, and politicians go extinct.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“Military is not social service, military is the antithesis of society and service.”

“It's interesting, how every politician starts a conversation with the talk of peace, then immediately shifts to investing more in fighter jets, tanks, rifles and warheads!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“I'll never force you to be inclusive,
if you do harm, I'll restrain you,
but I'll never resort to weapons -
moreover, I'll never kill for inclusion,

I'll simply beg, on my knees,
I'll beg till I drop dead -
because I have nothing to lose,
no reputation, no image, no class.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“In English we say:
if you want peace, prepare for war.
In Naskarian we say:
if you want peace, prepare for education.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“Patriotism 101: How To Murder Like A Pro (Sonnet 2445)

Murder is an art,
if you do it properly
you can not only get away,
but actually be praised for it.

First and foremost,
lock your brain and heart up
in the cupboard, you don't need them,

and join a military kennel, oops, I mean academy,
spend all your conscious days and nights
finding reasons to hate those beyond the border,

and you don't need to search hard, because
since you've already abandoned civilized senses,
your animal instincts would take over, and deliver
you the enemy as per the government requirement -

you just need to make sure that, never for a second
you must let the human in you take charge, because
if it does, that's the end of all patriotic glory.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“Every time I hear a government insist on developing weapons that could massacre millions in self-defense, I start wondering who the real terrorists are!”

“Naskar Sciences of Society (Sonnet 2786)

Study colonizers, you'll understand criminology.
Study politicians, you'll understand wildlife.
Study patriotic citizens, you'll learn horticulture.
Study billionaires, you'll understand virology.

Study the soldiers, you'll understand hypnosis.
Study bureaucrats, you'll understand narcolepsy.
Study conspiracy theorists and newage nutters,
you'll find living proof of our jungle ancestry.

Textbooks are like visible light, they only reveal
a tiny, microscopic, biased sliver of reality,
while 99.9965% of the electromagnetic spectrum
remain nonexistent to the mighty brains of apekind.

Real education happens outside the textbook,
living holiness happens outside the pulpit.
Study reformers, you'll understand geology.
Study mothers, you'll understand ecology.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“Earthistani - The Unpatriot Anthem (2505)

There is only one nation I give a damn about,
there is only one religion I give a damn about,
there is only one tradition I give a damn about,
there is only one culture I give a damn about -

there is only one scripture I give a damn about,
there is only one constitution I give a damn about,
there is only one sacred I give a damn about,
there is only one science I give a damn about -

the scripture I heed is conscience,
the constitution I heed is backbone,
the science I practice is service,
the sacred I hold is oneness -

marham na mazhab dekhe,
marham na dekhe mulk,
la medicina no ve la fe,
my existence is the proof -

the culture I carry is integration,
the tradition I carry is tolerance,
the religion I carry is reformation -
armed with a hundred billion nerve cells,
here I stand Human, My Nation, Earthistan!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“Either Border or Human
(Sonnet 2506)

In a planet of apes,
if you want power and control,
all you have to do is sell fear -
sell fear, blood, rage, the lot -

if you are in politics sell fear,
if you are in religion sell hate,
if you are in cinema sell rage,

but never call them by their real name,
always package it in modern language,
package bloodshed as patriotism,
package fanaticism as tradition,
package derangement as righteousness.

That's enough ape talk, now hear the human speak:
there is no place for nationalism in science,
there is no place for fanaticism in holiness,
there is no place for hate-commerce in arts,
there is no place for borders in consciousness.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
