“Achieving real, lasting change is much harder than firing weapons at a defined enemy,’ she said.”
Fay Abernethy, First Contact, Second Chances

Abhijit Naskar
“The Great Activist (Sonnet)

The world doesn't need another climate summit,
the world needs a climate summon,
and not from some fair-weather activist
that jumps from one trend to another,
like privileged white women hop from
pseudoscience to pseudoscience -

the world needs a climate summon
from the commoners of the world,
everyday ordinary people with
a mundane job and a mundane life -

when these people sense the immediate
emergency that the planet faces,
then no amount of performative policy
will be required anymore,

because there is no greater environmental
stabilizer than commoners jolted to duty -
the greatest activist is the conscientious commoner.”
Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock
