“Hurricane Humans (A Sonnet)

Come all ye misfits and rebels,
Let's march to shatter the games.
Break all golden chains of comfort,
Let's work forgetting our names.
Come all ye sneered and mocked,
We must burn as flames of unity.
Let's turn into a human tsunami,
And wash away all hate and rigidity.
Hurricane humans we are o brethren,
Savagery no more is master to us.
The fountain of inclusion is our lifeblood,
We won't let tradition break our universe.
Let’s finally build the kingdom of heaven,
With clay from our heart’s unifying Eden.”

“We are the explorers of impossibility - we decide what is possible, not some tradition, constitution or factualization - not tradition, because traditions are habits of the past, and as such, are unqualified to dictate life of the present - not constitution, because that too is born of the past, and as such can never be taken as gospel - and not factualization, because a world run by facts alone may be suitable for the existence of cold, mechanical computers, but not warm and vulnerable human beings.”

“You Are The Universe (The Sonnet)

You don't carry the torch, you are the torch.
You don't build the bridge, you are the bridge.
You don't pave the way, you are the way.
You don't make peace, you are the peace.
You don't build the future, you are the future.
You don't build civilization, you are civilization.
You don't serve the society, you are the society.
You don't work for reform, you are reformation.
You don't walk the path, you are the path.
You don't lift humanity, you are the humanity.
You don't make progress, you are the progress.
You don't serve the community, you are community.
You don't live in the universe, you are the universe.
Dimension destiny unfolds only in the human heart.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mücadele Muhabbet: Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier

“She Was God Sent
A special appreciation for a loving Mother

She has gone to sleep
Her beautiful soul is at rest
She watched as we wept
When we realized she had left
But we remained kept
By our appreciation for her

She lived life to the fullest
Until her last breath
When blood could no longer flow to her heart
We wondered who would lend a helping hand
Because while alive, she always had our backs
Even when things were hard

We went through intense hurt
As we dealt with her absence
Yet we admired her race
Which she ran with grace
Our gift so rare
A torchbearer

She was our strength
Truly, she was God-sent”
