“Jews are not the most dehumanized community in the world, muslims, native americans, and blacks are, yet antisemitism dominates all popular discourse on human rights, because that's the only little narrative where white people emerge as the good guys.”

“We live in a world built on colonial atrocity, where exploitation is advancement and genocide is genesis.”

“Whiteys on The Moon
(Naskar's Version, 2749-2750)

There is no orient,
there is no occident,
there is only consciousness -

there is no global south,
there is no global north,
there is only human race.

And now that we've established
the ultimate human truth of the future,
let's talk some facts of the present -

we cannot establish a theoretical future,
no matter how profound or spiritual it sounds,
without first actively making amends for the past -

we cannot say we're all equal,
when clearly the crimesheet of the north
is a hundred times bloodier than the south,

when the bloodlust of the occident
makes oriental villains look like pickpockets -

you can put a hundred whiteys on the moon,
still it won't make up for the countless holocausts
you withheld from the history books,
while cleverly cherrypicking one little cleansing
that photoshops the colonial numbskulls
as the saviors of the world.”

“The Unholy Trinity (Naskaristana 2533)

History of the world written by colonizers
is no different from map of the world
made by flat earthers -

just like flat earthers flatten the globe
to fit their delusion, colonizers flatten
civilizations into savages,
philosophies into myths,
cosmologies into coincidences,
lived holiness into paganism,

erasure into expansion,
trafficking into trade,
native resistance into terrorism,
and colonial terrorism into civilizing.

The vatican, british empire, and uncle sam,
these three are the apex predator of planet earth.”

“Letter to The Braindead (Naskaristana 2532)

The only reason the west makes such
a song and dance about antisemitism,
is not because it's a human rights issue,
but because it's the only narrative where
the colonizers emerge as the good guys -

but place indigenous populations
at the center of history, and every last
white heroic propaganda collapses in dust.

Think about it for a while, if you're not braindead -
how come french resistance, polish resistance, all
belong to history's mainstream fight against tyranny,
yet you still stutter to call the pilgrims as parasites,
british monarchy as brutes, and the vatican as vultures!”

“9 Billion Shades of Brown
(Black History Month Sonnet)

Nothing is black and white in this world,
everything is a shade of black,
even white is just a pale shade of black,
or we should say, brown -

nothing is black, nothing is white,
everything is a shade of brown,
everyone is a shade of brown.

Ethnicity is a commodity of fear,
prejudice is a commodity of power -
Mother Africa is the cradle of humanity,
Global South is the cradle of civilization.

Everything that white people have ever written
consists of only 1 percent of the human condition,
yet you confuse it as the entire human condition.

There is no black history month,
the entire human race calendar is black.”

“Decolonization Anthem (Excerpt)

We are children of the Global South,
not a lost cause or subjects of pity,
not tax breaks in a donor’s ledger,
nor footnotes in whitewashed history.

Our lands are rich with brains,
our soil is rich with minerals,
our veins pulse with creation,
hearts bright with civilization.

They looted our gold,
then sold us “aid” –
they burnt our libraries,
then sold us “education.”

Colonizers were the real cannibals of history,
out to civilize humans with far advanced society –
suffering of the South was not bad luck or destiny,
just the grand design of Manifest Atrocity.”

“Own your color, your accent, own your stories, your theologies, be proud of your sweat, your stubborn dignity – for the North wrote itself as civilized, but we, the Global South, authored humanity. They told us, history is white, holiness is western, progress is european – but the hands that built the world, with science, medicine, poetry, philosophy, astronomy and mathematics, were black, brown and indigenous.”

“Ethics 101: do not take ethics lessons from America. Theology 101: do not take divinity lessons from the Vatican. Geopolitics 101: don't take democracy lessons from the West. Economics 101: don't take economy lessons from rich white men.”

“Center of the World is Indigenous (Sonnet 2680)

Fact of the matter is,
most white scholars eventually
turn out to be just another colonial twit,
no matter how brilliant, how learned they are,
because animal conditioning doesn't wear off
with mere education of the intellect -

your soul must be disinfected of colonial filth,
which is not possible until you intrinsically
embody the pain, indignity, and humiliations
of the oppressed, subjected through generations.

Your opinion on religion, your opinion of reason,
your opinion of philosophy, your opinion of society,
it's all just opinion, that too of a lesser lifeform,
until you outgrow your whiteness and look at
the world through the actual center of the world -
and the center of the world is indigenous.”

“The Unholy Trinity (Sonnet 3109)

You don't need to cook up scandals to smear me,
I can give you all the real scandals you want,
hot out of the Naskar pen, go enjoy:

Churchill was a big fat cannibal,
Columbus was a wanted terrorist -

as far as historic records are concerned,
the religion of violence is christianity,
the government of violence is america,
the kingdom of violence is britain -

every culture has its skeletons,
but the vatican, america, and britain,
these three are the unholy trinity of
planet earth, built on a mountain of skeletons,
as opposed to my brother's sermon on the mount.”

“This World is A Lie (Sonnet 3136/Song)

This world is a lie on top 'a lie on top 'a lie, oh!
All history is made up of a bunch of fake heroes.
Stripped homes 'n stole gold 'n burnt books, no scruples!
Years went by, tears ran dry, no remorse, no marrow.

Hate sold as holy, and fear sold as tradition.
Church built on erasure, by cannibals on a "mission".
Reich after reich after reich dressed as zion,
Trees are all empty for monkeys are in government.

Zion and zionism, not one, but different.
One thing to be Christlike 'n another to be Christian.
To each other we're promise, to each other we're medicine;
Shelter to each other, we're pilgrims on an island.”

There's a universally recognized jewish holocaust remembrance day, and that's great, but I have just one question - where is the native american holocaust remembrance, where is the congo and kenyan holocaust remembrance, where is the palestinian holocaust remembrance, where is the punjab and bengal holocaust remembrance - all of which were far bloodier in scale than nazi follies, why is your history, memory, ethics, all so retarded!”

“Either your history is indigenous centered or your history is meticulously crafted monkey mythology, crafted by cunning monkeys, to manufacture docile sheep, never to make them realize, that the hunters are the transgressors, while the world belongs to the lions first. Sure, the world belongs to all, but not until, every stolen dignity, stolen honor, stolen dream, stolen childhood, motherhood, parenthood, are made amends for first, not monetarily but mentally.”

“When Erasure is Religion, Mutiny is Right
(Sonnet 3226/ Song 6)

Pack your brain that does no good,
and pack your hands that cannot help;
boot the chiefs that start a war,
and boot the bros that sell the hate.

Pack your kings that loot the world,
and pack your churches stood on bones,
stole the land then sold the skies,
manufactured famine, fortune poured.

Now go burn white maps and syllabus,
now go break your trance of west,
scrub the whitewash, face the history,
grow the spine of humanness.

When erasure be religion,
mutiny becomes a right,
grab the settler by the collar,
earth is our birthright.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Jashn-e Insan: Stranger is God, Helping is the Prayer

“Better White Guilt than White Privilege
(Sonnet 3222-3223)

If you are white, be extremely cautious,
self-conscious, and absolutely apologetic,
while commenting on people's religion and
culture, and it does not matter whatsoever
whether you're a fundamentalist or rationalist;

because that's exactly how your ancestors
destroyed populations after populations,
not only in the name of god,
but also in the name of rationality.

So whenever you feel the elitist urge
to dismiss other people's culture,
look at your skin first,
if it turns red in the sun,
it's nature's way of telling you to shut up,
you're in no ethical position
to pass judgement on morality and reason.

Do not even open your mouth until
you're properly scrubbed and decolonized -
if you wanna call it white guilt, call it white guilt,
better white guilt than white privilege.

In fact, if you feel guilty for the actions
of your animal ancestors, it's proof that
your bloodline has finally become human.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Jashn-e Insan: Stranger is God, Helping is the Prayer
