“Unspoken Truths (The Sonnet)

Democracy is people-approved dictatorship,
Military is people-approved genocide.
Atom bombs are people-approved armageddon,
In conscience-court all guilty of homicide.

There is no time left, for there never was time,
Time begins with the beginning of civilization.
And civilization is something we are yet to find,
Hence, there is no question of clock progression.

Nationalist chimps sell war in the name of security,
Stoneage civilians rush to bulk-buy graveyard plots.
Merchant of murder, you, yell about peacekeeping,
While you feast on nationalism like wet little cods!

When cavemen take pride in their national glory of death,
Sanctuary becomes asylum for the lunatic walking dead!”

“Political ideologies are not unlike technological inventions - both have expiry dates. Take the first electric bulb for example. When electric filament bulb came into existence it turned gas lamps obsolete - but then power efficient led bulb came into the scene, which turned filament bulbs obsolete. Likewise, back in the days when world conquest was all the craze, nationalism was the fire that united the dominated souls of the invaded lands to stand up to their invaders. But today when the notion of invasion is no longer the norm, and a sense of global oneness is on the rise, nationalism is no longer cool - it is obsolete, inane, and downright prehistoric. Today, it's the fire of integration that lights the world, not tribe, heritage and tradition.”

“War is business for these people. That is why they will never support peace negotiants but can fund and support you with weapons.”

“Ukraine is worth aiding, but not Afghanistan,
Tourists are worth saving, but not refugees.
Loss of any life is indeed a moment of tragedy,
Then why this double-standard and hypocrisy!”

“Don't sync your heartbeats
to the drumbeats of war.
Strum the chords of coexistence
on the frets of fervor.”

“It's a new world we gotta build -
Founded on love, tempered by reason.
If we must keep the borders,
let's keep them as external necessity,
not as internal prison.”
Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“Strum on heartstrings the song of synergy,
Be the headstrong harbinger of harmony.
Coexistence is existence when human is whole,
Wake up to duty, geopolitics will be history.”

“99 percent of the world's warzones are the legacy of white, western imperialism. Until you get your head around this simple fact, your views, your opinion, your advocacy, all are worthless to the peace struggles of these "westsploited" nations.

In the modern age no other country has wrecked more nations than America. Like father, like son - first it was England, then it's its rebellious runaway child America. That's why China is such an enemy in the westwashed narrative of the world - because when one nation has somewhat maintained an autocratic control over the planet since the 1800s (under the banner of "Manifest Destiny"), it would never want that control be undermined by another budding power - particularly when that power is far superior in infrastructure. Sure, the state of China tries to influence every move of its people, that's the first unwritten rule in the handbook of "democracy" - but Uncle Sam has been manipulating the moves of every single state for over two hundred years. Now tell me, which state should you be more cautious of?

No country is free from human rights violation, but America's share in global transgressions is right at the very top. America is the top exporter of humanitarian crisis in the world, and as such, US is the least qualified nation to be the moral guardian on anything.

It doesn't matter whether you are white, colored or martian - denial never solves nothing. To treat a disease we must first acknowledge the disease. And what is the disease? Is it white people - is it whiteness? No - whiteness is not the disease, but white imperialism is. And how do you treat this disease? You gotta strip yourself of all the privileges of skin, and make yourself one with the world - you gotta denounce the privilege of your whiteness and embrace the responsibility of your humanness. Only then, shall there be peace in the world - only then, shall there be integration - only then, shall there be a civilized world to begin with.”

“Time to Defect (The Sonnet)

It's time to defect, my friend -

from the side of passport to the side of heartport,
from the side of prison to the side of reason,
from the side of nationality to the side of sanity,
from the side of myopia to the side of motion,

from the side of crutches to the side of conscience,
from the side of coffins to the side of character,
from the side of bombs to the side of backbone,
from the side of barbwire to the side of brainwire,

from the side of flag to the side of fervor,
from the side of parasites to the side of paragons,
from the side of pacemakers to the side of peacemakers,
from the side of ideology to the side of illumination.

It's time to defect, my friend -
from the side of caves to the side of kind,
from the side of tribe to the side of life.”

“Humanitarian Nuclear Physics (The Sonnet)

One nuclear warhead contains 9 lbs of plutonium,
Which can electrify 2000 households for a year.
Yet you use that majestic power of atom as pawn,
In your stoneage geopolitical games of fear.

When monkeys crack the mystery of the atom,
Without developing any civilized purpose,
They go blind with the madness of power,
Atom bombs become newage arrows and spears.

Hypnotized by the mindless pursuit of "could",
Apes rarely ever stop to question if they should!
What good is such science without conscience,
What good is a scientist without a vision for good!

Either atom bombs will be obsolete as bow and arrow,
Or humankind will go extinct like dinosaurs tomorrow.”

“Africa is not getting better but it is getting worse because its government and leaders are suffering from plausible deniability. That is what is destroying Africa.”

“Wanna study geopolitics? First, take off your westwashed glasses - second, take off your westwashed shoes - third, scrub off your westwashed skin. In a world where the west has caused more humanitarian crises than Naskar has written books, you shall understand nothing till you decolonize your mind, no matter which hemisphere you are born in.”

“We are entering a new era of multiple frontier risks, including runaway technologies and complex geopolitical crises. To remain on the front foot, the world requires symbiotic foresight in public policy and highly trained multidisciplinary thinkers who can connect the dots using frameworks such as Neuro-Techno-Philosophy.”

“One World Family (The Sonnet)

My dream is, one world family,
not one world government.
My vision calls for a human world,
beyond the battle of right and left.

Trading Nato for Brics ain't advancement,
Swapping Sam with Soviet isn't progress.
If your mistrust of one colonizer
makes you build alliance with another,
it's not change but recurring regress.

Change is only change when
inhumanity is rejected altogether.
If inhumanity merely changes carrier,
it's not change but diplomatic disaster.

Alliance after alliance, cult after cult,
Politics over people will destroy the world.
All alliance stem from interest not integration,
Such geopolitical diplomacy will be our castration.”

Get rid of this nonsense.

“My dream is one world family, not one world government – my dream is a world where civilians bear the responsibility for the affairs of their society according to their capacity and expertise, not some halfwit political overlords. The mission is to build a nonpartisan world, not to delegate all social responsibilities from countless little puny political nitwits to one giant global git.”

“States cannot bring peace,
for state and peace are antithesis of each other.
Move past the state, look into culture -
the world won't have peace
till there is integration amongst cultures.”
Abhijit Naskar, Aşk Mafia: Armor of The World

“If extensive and global economic engagement and growing wealth have not already persuaded China to change its behavior, it is unclear why it would be more likely to do so as it grows stronger and thus less susceptible to outside pressure. A state like China, with a deeply entrenched economic model that is fundamentally different from - and in key respects antithetical to - that of the United States, seems more likely to continue the course that has brought it wealth and power... By definition, an established hegemon, able to direct the relevant policies of subordinate states, is harder to eject from its position than a state still grasping for hegemony.”

“Patriotism is primitiveness. Patriotism is the antithesis of world peace - it is the antithesis of acceptance, integration and harmony - in short, patriotism is the ultimate crime against humanity. Let me show you how.

What's the image that comes to your mind, when you hear the word "patriotism"? A soldier with a gun - and where there is a soldier, there is an enemy. And who is that enemy? Usually it's just another soldier from the other side of the border - who has his own children, own spouse, own family at home, and is the symbol of patriotism in his own nation. Now, do you see the absurdity of the whole concept of patriotism! That's how sick this society is - where the only thing that distinguishes patriotism from terrorism is which side of the border bears your feet shackled - borders that are peddled by politicians to maintain control - not security, not peace, but control. Because a world without borders is a world without fear - and it's impossible to control people when they no longer fear each other.”
