“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 25

Wanna know about people's character?
Walk around in shabby clothes.
Wanna know who's wise, who's egotistical?
Be the dumbest despite your brainforce.
Never try to impress people.
The more you try, the more they lose interest.
Nourish your warmth and kindness instead,
Those who care will reach out themselves.
But always remember one little thing,
You can either have life or calculation.
Calculate where it's needed,
But not in every situation.
Lovers and soldiers are the only ones living,
Rest of society is just dehydrating.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Giants in Jeans: 100 Sonnets of United Earth

“A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
― Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence

“Thank you to those men and women who put self aside because they held the thought of us on the inside. So, whether that be the bloodied beaches on D-Day or any number of other battles remembered or forgotten, we now hold you on the inside and we say “thank you.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
