“If A Tree Falls (Sonnet)

If a tree falls in the forest, but
nobody hears it, did it really fall!

If children are bombed to death,
but it's omitted from the news,
did the children really die!

If people are massacred by law,
but it's not on Netflix,
is it really a genocide!

If democracy is dismantled piece by piece,
but by government decree,
is it really illegal!

If the world is burnt to cinders,
but the privileged castles stay intact,
is the world really burning!”

“Rx for Fascism (Sonnet)

Gaza is not for sale,
Greenland is not for sale,
Ukraine is not for sale,
Canada is not for sale.

Planet Earth is not real estate,
to pander to your predatory psychopathy.
If you are so hard up for cash, we can all
chip in to buy you some good ol shock therapy.

When someone plays fast and loose with rights
and freedom, their place is either in the jungle
or in a mental institution, not in office.
Fascism, fundamentalism and nationalism,
these are the ultimate mental illness.”
Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

either you obey blind or be branded a terrorist.
Either you hold your mouth, mind and backbone,
or be jailed as an anarchist.”

“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

“Selma to Montgomery, from river to the sea,
We stand guard, with no weapon but our dignity.
Reason is our ark, love is our compass -

we shall overcome - All Awake to Humanity!”

“Village Vesuvius (The Sonnet)

Be a think tank of life,
not a septic tank of prejudice.
Stand messenger, stand human,
not a brainless host to malice.

The book of truth is not a book of answers,
the book of truth is a book of questions.
The book of life is not a book of laws,
the book of life is a book of conscience.

Whenever, wherever, fanaticism weaponizes fear,
human hearts gotta rise, abandoning tranquility.
Whenever chowderheads infringe on love and reason,
time be my testament - My World, My Responsibility!

Pillar of heavens I stand, composed as the Himalayas.
Persecute any community, and I am the Village Vesuvius.”
Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

“The Good Terrorist (Sonnet)

One fine morning, out of the blue,
I invade your home with a military crew;
I declare myself king of land and life,
now on, you're my hostage, I'm your truth.

Years go by and I show no remorse,
if anything, each day I tighten my course;
in helpless pursuit to make me see sense,
you abduct the ones, to me near and close.

If what I did is not invasion,
then what you did is not abduction!
Alas, it takes a human to solve this math,
monkey math falls short for civilization!

When ethnic cleansing becomes your religion,
mutiny becomes our dream, duty and right -
you erect your animal empire on persecution,
in revolution we stand human civilized.”
Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

“Human kneels to no ICE or SS (Sonnet 2200)

Human bows to no flag or crown,
human claims no jeweled throne -
rejoicing in ruin of reputation,
human stands unbent and alone.

Bound to no creed or clan,
human kneels before no stone -
every place where hate looms,
human sings in flesh and bone.

Human kneels to no ICE or SS,
human fears no dictatorial decree -
where chains are sold as holy relic,
human comes alive, roaring to be free.

Human walks not in luxury suits,
but in dusty rags of the street -
human feasts with homeless folks,
and dies happy at their feet.”
Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

“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?”
“If you fail, I will find a way to live with my conscience because I will live and you will not,”
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

“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
