“I don't like crowds of people in general. When they're all talking at the same time, and making noise. Crowds are the worst ... All the lights and the shouting and the people. It's like broken glass in my head.”
― Cassandra Clare, Lord of Shadows

“Lives to Serve Before I Sleep (The Poem)

Lives to serve before I sleep,
'cause service is my salvation;
Wounds to heal before I sleep,
'cause time is wailing for absolution;
Bridges to build before I sleep,
'cause too many walls are raised already;
Peoples to unite before I sleep,
'cause civilization is trembling and walking unsteady.

Shackles to shatter before I sleep,
'cause corruption festers in the stagnant norm;
Labels to erase before I sleep,
'cause they've only confused our global dorm;
Sects to humanize before I sleep,
'cause segregation has weakened the human bond;
Blades to burn before I sleep,
'cause they've turned the world into a bloody pond.

Tears to wipe before I sleep,
'cause the society is lost in fun;
Homes to heal before I sleep,
'cause ego has wrecked the nests a ton;
Biases to alleviate before I sleep,
'cause bigotry has outweighed compassion;
Purity to pour before I sleep,
'cause all are chasing petty gratification.

Spirits to lift before I sleep,
'cause the minds are running dry;
Gods to build before I sleep,
'cause orthodoxy makes humanity cry;
Wars to end before I sleep,
'cause no life is expendable and puny;
Humans to raise before I sleep,
'cause where humans act human there reigns harmony.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Lives to Serve Before I Sleep
