“Earth Belongs to The Natives (Sonnet 2401)

We cannot abolish systemic persecution
without dismantling systemic privilege.
You cannot wipe the slate clean, but you can
take the responsibility and stand to heal.

Colonizers are the second class citizens,
every land first belongs to the indigenous.
Landback is the mother of all movements,
it contains the plight of all First Humans.

Women are indigenous to their own body,
Palestinians are indigenous to palestine;
uncultured crowns and criminal uncles
have no jurisdiction over our Earthright.

Earth belongs to the Natives, settlers are
welcome, but as participant, not head of state.
Somos indígenas, somos indomables -
you can make us houseless, but never homeless.”
Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“Neurovision (Sonnet)

Mind is one big lie,
unless you examine everything.
Life is one big blind spot,
unless you question everything.

All prejudice comes with a flag,
all discrimination comes with a badge.
Nothing civilized in waving the flag,
real honor is to outgrow archaic trash.

If you must wave, wave the flag of those
who are stripped of their life and dignity.
Wave the rainbow, wave the watermelon -
lift up those thrown in manufactured obscurity.

If left to tradition, every mind
is a septic tank of superstition.
But nourish it with heart and reason,
and mind is sanctuary of illumination.”

“I never play the victim card, because to play the victim one would have to feel inferior somehow - which I don't - I am not inferior to anyone, quite the contrary, I am one of the most spectacular specimens of whole human that ever walked the earth - which is why, whenever I face derogatory remarks, my immediate response is not that of an offended minority, but that of a concerned parent disappointed at their child's misdemeanor.”
Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“I don't plea, I execute (Sonnet 2212)

I never play the victim card,
because to play the victim one would
have to feel inferior somehow - which I don't -
I am not inferior to anyone, quite the contrary,

I am one of the most spectacular specimens
of whole human that ever walked the earth -
which is why, whenever I face derogatory remarks,
my immediate response is not that of an offended
minority, but that of a concerned parent
disappointed at their child's misdemeanor.

I don't beg for equality, I establish equality.
I don't plea for mercy, I execute justice.
Millennia yet for courts to catch up to my truth;
I don't outsource, I am the source of holiness.”
Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“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

“How will you live with yourself if you don’t join us, and we earn your freedom for you? Or if we fail? How will you live with your conscience then?”

Molly Collier, The Paragon

“I don't live, I combust
(Constitution of Humanity, S.2708)

I'm not a nerd,
I'm the manufacturing plant
of humanitarian nerds,
whose nationality is humanity,
whose worship is reason,
whose madness is world uplift,
whose culture is integration.

I don't think, I roar.
I don't write, I pour.
I don't live, I combust,
so you may outgrow the shore.

I'm not a citizen of the planet,
I'm the Engine of Earth Society.
I'm bound by no constitution,
I'm the Constitution of Humanity.

Cleansed of all newage gullibility,
immunized against organized bigotry,
neither vegetable nor animal,
cometh the call, cometh the tsunami.”
Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“Major Mohit Sharma must have been a Poet at heart. Poets feel everything deeply.”

“Study in Wildlife (Naskaristana 2801-2802)

I used to think I'm a human behavior expert, but more and more I'm beginning to realize, I'm just a wildlife expert, because the core horrors that torment society are caused not by human behavior, but by the animal within the humans.

Prejudice, dogma, ultraindividualism,
nationalism, fascism, fundamentalism,
these are not problems of human behavior,
these are classic cases of animal nature.

A terrorist is just a statesman without office,
a statesman is just a terrorist in office.

Whether someone is a terrorist or not depends on how much political power they hold. Yesterday talibans had no power, so ape governments everywhere denounced them as a terrorist organization, today they are in power, so naturally the same ape governments are wining and dining with the taliban apes.

Today zionists are in power, so palestinians are terrorists, tomorrow when Palestine becomes free and sovereign, and israel turns into a reservation for zionist apes, while the human jews flee to palestine for freedom, Palestinians will be celebrated as righteous.

Terrorism, war crime, these are not ethical classification, these are political classification, and when the power flips, so does the classification.

Ethics, morality, freedom, have nothing to do with politics - human rights have never been the agenda in the geopolitics of apes.”
Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“Not free at last, but free at first - be the first to question inhuman convention, be the first to question unjust law, be the first to question cruel logic, be the first to question a bigoted population.”

“Jashn-e Inquilab, Sonnet 2600
(Revolution Festivities)

When there is order, but no justice,
when there is faith, but no goodness,
when there is brain, but no benevolence,
when there is custom, but no consciousness -

when machines behave like people,
but people behave like vegetable,
when governments shelter more
lunatics than lunatic asylums -

when ICE age looms early,
terrorizing life and liberty,
when disparity is packaged as prosperity,
and cowardice is the standard of society -

let the festivities of revolution commence,
breaking the fast of convenient apathy -
I am the Imperishable Force of Oneness,
I am Iftar, I am Noel, I am Jashn-e Justice.”
Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

Abhijit Naskar
“Roads ignited with the voice of oneness,
cannot be extinguished by clouds of hate.
When the final regime has fallen to pieces,
the drop of dew will still be incandescent.”
Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

Abhijit Naskar
“When the world feels cold and hollow,
and the clouds won't let you breathe,
awake, arise, and walk the marrow,
you are fire fated to be free.”
Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

Abhijit Naskar
“I was born without lineage,
without a holy claim -
no prophet in my pocket,
no empire to my name.

But I rose from the ruins
of the borders they drew,
and I learned from the ashes
what a human can do.”
Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“Earthright Anthem (Sonnet 2613-2615)

The soil is older than every border,
older than flags and state decree.
Earth is property of no brute empire,
nor promised prize of manifest atrocity.

No badge can baptize brutality,
no holy water can bleach blood stains -
the land remembers the salt of tears
of every people ever slain.

Women are indigenous to their bodies,
Palestinians are native to their home.
Privilege cannot buy righteousness,
nor can blind faith redraw chromosome.

When erasure becomes ape religion,
mutiny becomes human right.
Stars that burn for others,
wither in body, but live in light.

From Palestine to Kashmir to America,
every land shall be humanized,
not by bullets and atom bombs,
but by atomic people against the lies.

Acts of terror by governments
are still terror all the same,
genocide wrapped in diplomacy
is just murder by another name.

Divide and rule, marks the animal,
unite and integrate, makes humankind.
We are stardust come alive -
unbent, unflinching, borderless mind.

Human is the bridge, and bridge is the truth.
Nobody is undocumented, on a planet built on loot.”
Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

Abhijit Naskar
“Rise, O Children of Earth,
no matter the color or culture,
you have more heart than ape empires,
more soul than parasites and vultures!”
Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

Abhijit Naskar
“When ICE comes, I stand here with a blowtorch.”
Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock
