“Pilgrims and Nazis (Sonnet 2220)

The terrorists you call pilgrims,
did not immigrate, they invaded,
pillaged and plundered a continent,
they even plagiarized its name into
a symbol of atrocity and violation,

just like the nazis heisted
a holy symbol from the east,
and turned the sacred Swastika
into the global icon of hate.

History books are all messed up,
none teaches the history of humans -
world history was written by animals,
to maintain their narrative unchallenged.

The West broke the world, now
the human race gotta resurrect the world,
offspring of the terrorists and terrorized alike -
but we can do nothing at all,
till we decolonize our mind.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“When I use the term colonizer, I refer only to those who take pride in colonial exploits, and not to those accountable human beings who happen to descend from colonial ancestors. Colonialism is the enemy, it has nothing to do with skin or ancestry. As long as you stand true on ethics of equality and mettle of character, rather than boasting pedigree and archaic tradition, you are a champion of humanity, no matter your ethnicity, ancestry, profession or status.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“A Brief History of Earth Cannibals (Sonnet)

There's no such thing as slave traders,
get your language straight, you idiots -
they were human traffickers, not traders,
you trade in commodity, not people.

Colonizers were not slave traders,
they were terrorists and traffickers;
settlers are not civilizers,
they are plague upon the civilized world.

The world outside europe was already civilized
beyond the wildest dreams of the europeans,
then those brutes set sail, and the human race
experienced an extinction level catastrophe.

To trade in human lives like livestock
is the savagest form of cannibalism -
white history sells the West as the free world,
but dig into earth history, and you'll realize,
West is the biggest threat to life and freedom.

Here is some rectified history,
dig up the rest for yourself -
Churchill was a big fat cannibal,
Leopold was an ugly deadly virus,
Columbus was a most wanted terrorist.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“The Lacandones have a prophecy that the world will be destroyed when the last mahogany tree is gone. The mahogany is the 'indicator species' for the rain forest; its health or death is indicative of the health or death of the entire ecosystem. The smoke from the burning of tropical rain forests can already be seen from satellites miles above Earth.

The indigenous people of the true, original First World are preparing themselves for the final struggle. Many have nothing left to lose, only the remaining trees and land, and their children, to fight for. As the Zapatistas declared: 'We are the dead, rising to die again so our people can live once more.”
― Ralph Metzner, Green Psychology: Transforming our Relationship to the Earth

“Nobody is undocumented on a planet built on loot.”

“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
