“People Vs Supreme Court (The Sonnet)

When the Supreme Court behaves prehistoric,
Every human must become an activist.
When the gatekeepers of law behave barbarian,
Every civilian must come down to the street.
When people are stripped off their basic rights,
By some bigoted and shortsighted gargoyles.
We the people must take back the reins,
And put the politicians in their rightful place.
We need no guns and grenades, we need no ammo,
Unarmed and unbent we stand against savagery.
Till every woman obtains their right to choice,
None of us will sit quiet in compliant apathy.
Every time the cradle of justice becomes criminal,
It falls upon us civilians to be justice incorruptible.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“Motherless Motherhood (The Sonnet)

To take choice out of pregnancy,
Is to take the mother out of motherhood.
If childbirth isn't the mother's will,
Who the hell is state to make the rule!
State is a servant of the people,
Church is a servant of the people.
When they claim to be guardian supreme,
People must stand to spoil their gamble.
To take choice out of democracy,
Is to take citizens out of government.
But to take bigotry out of politics,
Is to take politics out of the state.
A society that equates woman with womb,
Is a society headed for its own tomb.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Ingan Impossible: Handbook of Hatebusting

“Just because you're some big, tough asshole doesn't mean you get the right to decide when I should eat- or when I'm not taking care of my body. I'm the one who lives in it, I know when I fucking wanting to eat. So keep your possessive and aggressive bullshit to yourself.”
― Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood

“Only I get to determine what does and doesn't involve me. What I do and do not do is of no concern to anyone. Not even a god.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Shadow in the Ember
