“Undoctrination Sonnet

If we teach kids history,
They say we're indoctrinating them.
If we immunize them against disease,
They say we're microchipping them.
If we teach kids science,
They say we're practicing blasphemy.
If we teach kids biology,
They say we're messing with their identity.
With such mentality of a caveman,
How on earth did you manage to conceive!
I guess, to raise a human takes common sense,
But to make a baby takes only genital breach.
Hence it is more reason for reason to persevere.
There is no way we can let stone age reappear.”
― Abhijit Naskar, High Voltage Habib: Gospel of Undoctrination

“Carving Inclusion (The Sonnet)

Carving a sonnet of inclusion on a statue,
Does not magically make a nation accepting.
There ain't gonna be no inclusion unless we,
Stop filibustering, and start love-mustering.
Turning back the clock on cultural diversity,
Does not make a nation strong and progressive.
Traditions that refuse inclusion and expansion,
Are sheer poison in the path of societal uplift.
A rigid nation is no nation but a primitive tribe,
A civilized community practices reason and warmth.
Economy does not make a nation super power,
Equality and inclusion reveal its true worth.
Assimilation is to be etched upon the national heart,
Only then we can call such heart a human heart.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Bulldozer on Duty

“This is how we make all lives matter (The Sonnet)

Wherever a black life is shot of suspicion,
I am that black life that didn't matter.
Wherever a woman is forced to remain pregnant,
I am that woman who doesn't matter.
Wherever a muslim is presumed terrorist,
I am that muslim who doesn't matter.
Wherever a queer life is persecuted,
I am that queer who doesn't matter.
Standing up to cannibalism requires,
No exclusive background and identity.
All that matters is that you are human,
Only requirement of justice is humanity.
This is how we make all lives matter, all lives free.
Injustice on anyone anywhere is injustice on me.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Ingan Impossible: Handbook of Hatebusting

“Every Culture is My Culture (The Sonnet)

If America fails in advancement, so will the world,
If South America fails in liberty, so will the world.
If Mexico fails in passion, so will the world,
If India fails in diversity, so will the world.
Every atom of planet earth is teeming with potential,
Yet most see nothing beyond the rim of their culture.
Culture is peddled in the world as a sectarian prison,
Yet the fact is, culture integrated is culture empowered.
Every culture belongs in every heart, every heart that is human,
While stoneage notions of culture still dominate the animal.
Simply put, till all cultures are ours, no culture is ours,
Any culture that claims supremacy belongs on a surgeon's table.
If humanity fails to embrace the strength of each culture,
There will be no humanity, there will be no culture.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“No matter what, I am not giving up - I am not giving up on this world. Because among all the planets across 2 trillion galaxies in our universe, this apparently insignificant little blue dot is my home - it's my family. And I shall keep fighting, unarmed and unbending, for the rights of my family, for the peace and uplift of my family, so long as the four valves on my left keep working. Fighting is a good thing, if the reason is righteous. And there is no greater reason, no greater cause, to keep fighting, than for the welfare of our family. That is why, I am not giving up - no matter what, I am not giving up. I am not giving up on the welfare of my family - I am not giving up on my humankind.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Her Insan Ailem: Everyone is Family, Everywhere is Home

“Walk La Solo Ray (Sonnet 1006)

Heart immeasurable is measure supreme,
All other measures are caveman's dilemma.
What measured minds deem as blasphemy,
The immeasurable deem the end of myopia.
You can inherit money, not mind,
You can inherit cash, not character.
When heritage makes mind petrified of mind,
It is not heritage but a humanitarian disaster.
So what, if the measured don't flock behind,
Like they frolic on the beaches of frivolity!
The sun above burns alone giving light to all,
While the hyenas below never run out of company.
Defy all old and new that desecrate the heart away.
Hearken to no inherited fear, and walk, la solo ray.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

“Hearken to no inherited fear, and walk, la solo ray.”

“Sonnet 1008

Helping a human is worth a hundred pilgrimages,
Conquer the heart, you'll conquer the world.
More glorious than trekking a thousand mountains,
Is to trudge the distance from heart to heart.
You don't conquer heart by acting on assumption,
You don't conquer division by acting on ideology.
You don't conquer hate by means of intellectualism,
You don't conquer war by deploying more military.
Peace doesn't happen by conference of ideology,
Peace happens through the confluence of sentience.
Integration doesn't happen by boasting your culture,
But when you overlook yours to learn another's ways.
Bury the dead along with all their artifacts of living.
Better a traitor to the dead than a traitor to the living.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

“For animals culture and country may come first, as humans the whole world must be our priority.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

“Human Not Hyena (Sonnet 1012)

When all are charmed
by the comfort of dusk,
Rise up and write the dawn.
When savages find honor
in celebration of death,
Rise up and mow the lawn.
When baboons try to show strength
by filling up the graveyard,
Rise up and rob the hate.
When clowns behave like it is 2020 BC,
Rise up and write the world's fate.
When hyenas commit cannibalism
in the name of national security,
Stand up as human and practice humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

“Any culture that claims supremacy belongs on a surgeon's table.”

“Sonnet 1143

Give me some sunshine,
Give me some rain!
Why the hell am I asking you,
When I'm the steward of my own reign!

Ship of society is sinking,
O Young and Bold, now hail the helm!
Come to the rescue of those lost at sea,
To hell with the nonsense of shame and fame!

My religion is to rescue the fallen,
My creed to care for the persecuted.
Faith, reason, nation, I heed none,
Obliterated in love heart is illuminated.

Shedding all fears both ragged and posh,
Let's go play in the courtyard of the cosmos!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo

“People need to see themselves in the stories. How can we only say 'he' and 'she' when we are 'all'? How can we ask great things of ourselves if all we see are others as heroes?”
