Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth Quotes

“Naskar it! (Sonnet 2855-2857) At birth they tag you with a flag, a script to follow, a tribe to brag - tell you to fit in, don't ask too much, keep your fire, but never touch. Unfurl your fiber, and refuse the script, don't make pilgrimage out of jungle myths. Break the narrative, you break the spell - end of nationalism is end of the animal. If the world's on autopilot, interrupt it! If the truth feels dangerous, then conduct it! If compassion seems radical, then ignite it! When justice calls your name, answer it! Don't just think it, Naskar it! Don't believe it, Naskar it! Question everything they permit, if it's not human, don't submit! Abolish the silence, and Naskar it! Stand your ground, and Naskar it! Love your neighbor before your leader - don't just talk it, Naskar it! No book on earth can claim your mind, no single truth defines humankind - no crown, no creed, no sacred shrine outweighs a heart that dares to shine. Take your doubts and carve the key, unlock the cage of them and we. You're more than cattle and veggie, you are Your own Holiness and Majesty! Don't assume it, Naskar it! Don't preach it, Naskar it! Every truth they counterfeit, confront it, expose it, Naskar it! Shoulder the world, and Naskar it! Walk the oneness, and Naskar it! Human first, that's all there is - no exception, go Naskar it! Every wall they built on prejudice, tear it down, and dance on it! It's not a noun, it's a verb - it's what you do, now Naskar it!”

“I used to think I’m a human behavior expert, but more and more I’m beginning to realize, I’m just a wildlife expert, because the core horrors that torment society are caused not by human behavior, but by the animal within the humans. Prejudice, dogma, ultraindividualism, nationalism, fascism, fundamentalism, these are not problems of human behavior, these are classic cases of animal nature.”

“Every Day is Naskar Day (Sonnet 2861) I don't do this day and that day, I don't need to, you do, you live your life the year round indifferent to atrocity, then on specific dates you pretend you care, whereas my entire life is black history month, islamic science month, indigenous philosophy month, asian theology month, valentine's day, Mother's Day, Woman's Day, Earth Day, Palestine Month, all at once. I rarely write date specific texts, because every day is Naskar Day, and every Naskar Day is everybody's day.”

“Study in Wildlife (Naskaristana 2801-2802) I used to think I'm a human behavior expert, but more and more I'm beginning to realize, I'm just a wildlife expert, because the core horrors that torment society are caused not by human behavior, but by the animal within the humans. Prejudice, dogma, ultraindividualism, nationalism, fascism, fundamentalism, these are not problems of human behavior, these are classic cases of animal nature. A terrorist is just a statesman without office, a statesman is just a terrorist in office. Whether someone is a terrorist or not depends on how much political power they hold. Yesterday talibans had no power, so ape governments everywhere denounced them as a terrorist organization, today they are in power, so naturally the same ape governments are wining and dining with the taliban apes. Today zionists are in power, so palestinians are terrorists, tomorrow when Palestine becomes free and sovereign, and israel turns into a reservation for zionist apes, while the human jews flee to palestine for freedom, Palestinians will be celebrated as righteous. Terrorism, war crime, these are not ethical classification, these are political classification, and when the power flips, so does the classification. Ethics, morality, freedom, have nothing to do with politics - human rights have never been the agenda in the geopolitics of apes.”
