“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 91

Citizens are the alpha, citizens are the omega.
Whatever good is possible, it comes from the citizens.
Citizens are the creator, citizens are the ravager.
Citizens make the autocrats, citizens can crush them.
Citizens are the cause, citizens are the effect.
There is no destiny, only determination of the citizens.
Citizens are the worshipper, citizens are the worshipped.
There is no religion, only humanity of the citizens.
Citizens are the gospel, citizens are commandments.
When citizens command with conscience, corruption falls.
Citizens are the altar, citizens are the idol.
When the citizens come down to the streets, dictators fall.
Autocrats and dictators rule because the citizens allow it.
Once the citizens wake up from hibernation,
it's time for their last wish.”

“Counterfeit revolutionaries give in to the comfort and security of authoritarian life, the moment they come to power themselves. Upon coming to power, the most outspoken activist no longer minds getting acquainted with the nuclear codes of inhumanity, in the name of national security.

If asked why, their usual answer is - it's a necessary evil. Thus, an activist is only activist till they come to power. Once in power, most of them turn into the same kind of rotten politicians, that they have been fighting against.

That's human behavior 101 in relation to political revolution.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Misafir Merhaba: The Peace Testament

“Esperanza Impossible Sonnet 10

Nationality is not the trouble, real trouble is nationalism,
And nationalism is the super weapon in a politician's arsenal.
When nothing works, peddling nationalism works every time,
For insecure citizenry can't tell nationality from nationalism.
So in practice, all the wars of the world are caused by citizens,
But it feels good to blame the bad things on politicians.
Once the citizens grow up to not be swayed by nationalism,
No authoritarian nincompoop can make them dance.
Nationality is a tool, what it is not is a badge of supremacy,
Just like culture is a tool, and not a badge of authority.
If we must dance, let us dance to life, not to baseless fright,
If we must take a step, let's take a step towards humanity.
Borders exist to aid the functioning of the fabric of society.
They are not some olympian designation of your identity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Esperanza Impossible: 100 Sonnets of Ethics, Engineering & Existence
