“Sonnet of Unity

I am vicdan,
I am saadet.
My life isn't mine,
It's your emanet.
Soy sanity,
Soy humanidad.
Life lies in service,
Selfishness kills vitalidad.
Ich bin inclusion,
Ich bin indivisible.
Mein kampf is unity,
Human and hate are incompatible.
Life divided brings degradation.
Growth comes through expansion.


(vicdan=conscience, saadet=joy, emanet=keepsake, soy=I am, humanidad=humanity, vitalidad=vitality, Ich bin=I am, mein kampf=my struggle)”

“I don't have any allegiance to any single flag, but still I cannot disrespect them either with words or with action, you know why, because a flag represents a people, therefore disrespecting a flag means disrespecting a people. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was a great leader in one of the countries of planet earth. The military of a neighboring country had taken over a region there, but accompanied by his brave soldiers the great leader liberated that part of his country from oppression. In celebration when the people of his country laid down the flag of the oppressor for their leader to walk on, he refused - he refused to insult even the flag of an invading country, for such is the character of a true leader. Leaders don't insult others to feel superior - they simply live as an epitome of courage, conscience and humility, and others can't help but follow on their own.”

“Shalom Civilization (The Sonnet)

Without accountability there's no civilization,
For it is the line between human and animal.
Without integrity there's no civilization,
For it is the line between human and vegetable.
Without sanctity there's no civilization,
For it is the line between sanity and savagery.
Without amity there's no civilization,
For it is the line between humanity and machinery.
Without conscience there's no civilization,
For it is the line between order and upheaval.
Without character there's no civilization,
For it is the line between life and survival.
Civilization is a small word with a universe inside.
To unfold it requires a species without divide.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Martyr Meets World: To Solve The Hard Problem of Inhumanity

“Divinity for Sale (The Sonnet)

When a book becomes religion,
And doctrines become divinity,
Holiness remains speculation,
Society loses sight of humanity.
When institutions claim authority,
And sleeping masses comply,
Religion disappears altogether,
What remains is potential gone awry.
When popes and pundits sell faith,
In the name of divine supremacy,
Rigidity overrules common sense,
And reason is hailed as blasphemy.
But there is a cure for all this atrocity.
It is called individual curiosity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Martyr Meets World: To Solve The Hard Problem of Inhumanity

“The Purifying Sonnet

What the world needs is a helper,
Bold, brave and unbending.
What the world needs is a fire,
Daring, determined and unflinching.
What the world needs is a heartlifter,
Radical, revolutionary and rejuvenating.
What the world needs is a river,
Persistent, ceaseless and lifegiving.
What the world needs is a martyr,
Liberated, majestic and undying.
What the world needs is a flower,
Unconditioned, naïve and beautifying.
The world of today still lives in gutter.
It is our duty to be the purifier.”
