“When The Pillar Gets Weary (Dervish Sonnet 2776)

I don't utter a single word that
I wouldn't want to become part of the canon,
but person can't live on discipline alone,
so, having no lover to take my armor off for,
I found a different way to vent my vulnerability -

in the mainstream work I'm a pillar of strength,
while turkish is quite literally my love language -
english is the language where my brain feels at home,
turkish is the language where my heart finds rest -

none my mothertongue, yet both are my first language,
with spanish as my occasional substitute for english.

English is not my mothertongue,
english is my brother tongue -
spanish is not my mothertongue,
spanish is my cousin tongue -
turkish is not my mothertongue,
turkish is my lover tongue.

My territory is planet earth -
humanity, my civilization.
Figure what I didn't mention,
you'll learn the law of assimilation.”
Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“The Accidental American
(Naskaristana 2753)

Five whole years I went from
door to door, looking for support,
I wanted to build my own tech startup,
but all I received was ridicule and advise -

finally I withdrew myself
from the nation I was born in,
and placed all my attention on America -

I had zero money, my only assets were
my heart and brain, which was all I needed
to reshape America, then the whole world.

The Naskar you know is a direct outcome
of the entrepreneur that never came to life -
naskar the youngster failed in his innovation dreams,
so Naskar the Civilization emerged as the earth way of life.”
Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace
