“Welcome to Earth (World Tourism Sonnet)

When you are down with doubts sit down,
For lessons of revolution from the Americas.
When you are beginning to have cold feet,
Siphon some much needed resilience from Africa.
When your heart is beginning to turn cold,
Have a rejuvenating swim in the warmth of Asia.
When clouds of gloom start to grab hold,
Breathe in some fresh air from Australia.
Whenever the bickering goes overboard,
Draw some lessons of unity from Europe.
Whatever it is you seek my friend,
We just might be able to satisfy your hope.
Come visit us sometime, on our little blue dot.
We are the beings of love, light and colors,
as such we often go overboard.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

While modern medical science has virtually eliminated the virulent diseases that threatened the lives of our ancestors (smallpox, diptheria, polio, typhoid fever), a different kind of disease process is gradually destroying the body's ability to protect and heal itself.”
