“Violence is a self-perpetuating rabbit hole that exaggerates problems and rarely solves them. It is a reaction to a situation and not a thought process.

Then the search for peace finally begins.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Give me a pen, I'll give you peace (Sonnet)

One pen can defeat a thousand guns,
that's why books get banned, not guns.
There's nothing more dangerous than
books that radicalize you against war.

When you take away fear from the citizens,
you take away their initiative for war.
And when citizens no longer conform to war,
that's the biggest threat to political power.

You cannot ask citizens to pay for the bombs,
if they believe more in peace than paranoia.
Stupid taxpayers are the biggest sponsors of war,
patriotism is genocide, military is massacre.

I have zero tolerance for any civilian, politician
or scholar who takes pride in the military -
go back to the jungle, because that's where you
belong, with the rest of your animal society.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
