“Clem ground out her cigarette and immediately wished she hadn’t. It had felt like something live she could hold onto”
Lesley Glaister, Blasted Things

Abhijit Naskar
“The First World War (Sonnet 1501)

There are bigger villains than Adolf,
But they are not deemed villain
so long as they do white man no harm.
Two world wars count for nothing, compared
to the struggles of the rest of the world.

You only hear of two world wars, not more,
Because world history is actually white history.
White welfare has always been default human welfare,
Like today we humans deem animal welfare secondary.

Even the world map as you know is one big lie,
depicting an exaggerated size of the global north.
Rather than arguing over the planethood of Pluto,
How about you right the wrongs right here on earth!

Endeavor as human and reclaim your humanhood,
Work for actual human welfare, defying white denial.
There never was a world war, there was only white war,
The first world war has just begun, against violation.”
Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets
