Social Work Poem Quotes

“Make A Name (The Sonnet)

Make a name to give hope,
Not to have control over people.
Make a name to lift another,
Not to look down on the people.
Be a symbol that burns bright,
Even when you are not around.
Selfish self is septic self,
Be an epitome of sacrifice unbound.
Only fools dream of ruling the world,
Sapiens dream of self-annihilation.
I dream, breathe and live as servant,
Servanthood brings sanctification.
Fall without fail at the feet of the forgotten.
Lend a hand to lift a heart, together we are beacon.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Ingan Impossible: Handbook of Hatebusting

“Humanitarianism is a myth,
So are humanism and charity.
They are the world's way,
To sustain nothing but apathy.

Are you a devout hydrophile,
Since you drink water so well?
You are not, right - and why not!
Because water is but life's essential.

In the same way, kindness isn't an ism,
Human helping human isn't an ideology.
If they stick labels on such act of life,
It is but a sign of a rather sick society.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amor Apocalypse: Canım Sana İhtiyacım
