“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

“Evolution of apes to human begins with one person disposing of their flag in a museum.”

“The Naskar Controversy (Sonnet 2525)

Yes, Naskar is a controversial figure,
not because I sell antivaxx nonsense,
not because I sell eugenics nonsense,
not because I sell patriotic garbage,
not because I sell newage garbage, in fact,
these are the very germs my life disinfects -

I am controversial because my backbone
doesn't seek validation from no institution,
either faith based or intellectual -

I am controversial because the planet of apes
cannot quite figure out the sectarian membership
of my post-discipline, post-dogma, post-cultural,
post-national, post-fanatic, post-algorithmic mind -
and anything that apes cannot understand, apes mistrust,
not just apes of ritual, but also apes of intellect.

I am controversial because I ask for tolerance,
I am controversial because I'm integration incarnate,
I am controversial because I call for humanity,
at the expense of both faith and facts.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“My divinity, my design -
my truth, my decision -
my society, my justice -
my planet, my duty.”

“My planet, my duty.”

“Human is a pious promise,
not host to parasitic paranoia.
Earth is my homerock, sky is my robe -
End of tribe is birth of culture.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“The Naskar Anthem
(Sonnet 2554-2555)

Heir to no throne,
no crown on my head,
tearing up borderly lies,
I burn as the lamp of aid.

I hold no flag,
yet I raise nations,
I stand as rebel guard,
humanizing inoculation.

Rocking the world with sacred wonder,
priming the souls with curing thunder,
every sonnet is call against slumber,
every line, a revolt against plunder.

From the alleys of grief
to the towers of pride,
I am wounded, I walk with
the wounded by my side.

Not born to erase faith,
but to rewrite it tolerant;
suffering is the doorway,
to the becoming of a saint.

A pair of helping hands is holier
than a million praying lips;
I got no need for scripture,
for I carry a heart that beats.

I have no law, but life -
I have no edict, but empathy.
I have no creed, but conscience -
I am the vow of mad inclusivity.

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

“March of Human (Trisonnet 2556-2558)

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.

Every heartbeat, an anthem of love,
every syllable breaks a chain -
you're the thunder you ought to follow,
rise untamed, and history's rearranged.

Every silence holds a scripture,
every wound is a sacred drum -
every time you defy despair,
you teach midnight how to hum.

When the Human speaks, mountains wake,
tired hearts of earth unbreak -
turn the world from ash to flame,
help the broken speak their name.

When the Pilgrim speaks, borders fall,
the migrant soul becomes the all -
in the quake of your cosmic call,
empires misplace their mighty gall.

Write like time's a fragile toy,
like galaxies sit in your palm -
roar with justice, rain with joy,
awaken chaos into calm!

From deserts to the deltas,
from river to the sky,
be the ink of revolution,
that refuses to comply.

Grab history by the collar,
take hate and make it dust -
when you near, tyrants stutter;
lift the planet from the jungle gutter.

When the Heart speaks, the Earth rewrites,
buried stories are restored with rights -
paint the future with your bare hands,
teach the fire how to stand.

When the Human walks, the soil revives,
forgotten streets all come to life -
with every step, with every beat,
Awake, Arise, and Breathe Complete!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“In a paradigm of hate,
be the paradox of love -
glue to the galaxy,
epoxy of the epoch.”
― 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

“Every mother's tear is a silent protest against the madness of war.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya

“You don't need much to win the trust of apes, just say you'll make lots and lots of bombs, because in the book of apes, to be free is to be feared, and to be feared is to develop the capacity to kill fellow human beings - that's an absolute must in the democracy of monkeys, not brain, not heart, not character whatsoever, just the most acute animal instinct for killing, and this is what the apes call Geopolitics!”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

“I'm a traitor to every state that demands exclusive patriotism at the expense of their neighbor - I know you won't understand this, you are still monkeys after all, albeit in suits and boots, but one day your human descendants will breathe free, free from fear, free from bloodlust, free from war, because I stood as a human traitor in a planet of patriotic apes.”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

I'll ask you what jungle are you from!
If you ask me what is my nationality,
I'll ask you what is your malady!”

“Every Day is Naskar Day (Sonnet 2861)

I don't do this day and that day,
I don't need to, you do, you live your life
the year round indifferent to atrocity,
then on specific dates you pretend you care,

whereas my entire life is black history month,
islamic science month, indigenous philosophy month,
asian theology month, valentine's day, Mother's Day,
Woman's Day, Earth Day, Palestine Month, all at once.

I rarely write date specific texts,
because every day is Naskar Day,
and every Naskar Day is everybody's day.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“Naskar is not for those seeking a safe narrative, the point of Naskar is to knit your neurons human.”

“Shortcircuit (Sonnet 2900)

Bombs can look beautiful or ugly,
depending on which side you're looking from,
from the sky or from the ground.

Books can look dangerous or precious,
depending on which side you're looking from,
from office or from the streets.

Truth is a useless term,
nazis call persecution truth,
maga calls fanaticism truth,
zionists call genocide truth.

In English we call it Israel,
in Naskarian we call it Sanitarium.

In English we call it Britannia,
in Naskarian we call it Malaria.

In English we call it America,
in Naskarian we call it Terrorism.”

“Naskaradeniz, Sonnet 2412
(The Planet Dervish)

Where your hope ends,
there my stubbornness begins.
Where gods stay cripple,
there my duty begins.

Where law fails order,
there my justice begins.
Where state fails society,
there my civilizing begins.

Where schools fail truth,
there my curiosity begins.
Where science fails empathy,
there my intervention convenes.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“In many of the monkey nations of earth their local governments often ban books, and yet not a single earth country has banned guns, not a single one - in some countries you just need money, in some countries you need a licence, in others you need to be a soldier or copper, but not a single country has actually banned guns, they even ban websites and apps at the slightest political inconvenience, but never guns.”
― Abhijit Naskar

“Aşkoholic/Amorholic, 3112-3114
(Divine, Ethics and STEM)

All my youth I've done science,
now let me stay drunk, don't wake me up,
let me drift into my final slumber,
smoking, blazing, smoldering with love.

Prose I know not, nor do I know poetry,
I know no pslam, I know no surah -
you keep your cute rhyme and meter,
your cruel equations and dead dogma,
let me go rack and ruin -
costume, custom, all be cinder.

Substantially advanced spirituality
is indistinguishable from science,
and substantially advanced science
is indistinguishable from spirituality.

What good is science that can't refuse to make bombs!
What good is faith that can't refuse to hate!

Almost every scientist rejects pseudoscience
most vehemently, yet when it comes to warfare
very few seem to have the backbone to denounce it -

a sufficiently advanced scientist
eventually refuses to indulge in warfare,
not advanced in years or intellect,
but advanced in accountability,
and a truly holy person eventually
refuses to convert people.

In the garden of love the gardener is the flower,
STEM without ethics is fanaticism with glitter.
I am the equation, solved by neither faith nor intellect -
spin of my particles unsung by LHC,
essence of my being unspliced by CRISPR.”
