“Night brings light,
Injury generates elixir.
Gale delivers gallantry,
Clouds build character.”

“Broken bone heals back stronger,
Broken heart heals back braver.
Broken mind heals back wiser,
Broken life heals back brighter.
Scars are not guilt marks,
Scars are mark of gallantry.
Scars are proof of resilience,
Scars are testament to bravery.
Scars are proof that you soldiered on,
Scars are proof that you never gave in.
Products are manufactured without scars,
People are shaped by scars and suffering.
Suffering is not a failure of life,
Suffering is a sign of life.
The living shall suffer one way or another,
So choose the reason, conscious and wise.”

“I own just two 5 dollar tshirts - one is my regular wear, another my backup for washdays. And for my travels I own two 10 dollar shirts and two 20 dollar jeans, which are also used for my book covers. I don't need more, I don't buy more. This is not minimalism, it's called self-regulation - the lack of which has led to the shallow, judgmental, privilege-craving prick of a society we live in today. It's not about saving money, it's about humanizing money, by using it wisely, not just for individual benefit, but collective benefit.
Buy the things you need the most, save a little for rainy days, and use the rest to lift up the fallen. Any citizen who masters this simple humanitarian habit, is no longer obligated to pay taxes to the government. And when enough citizens of the world make it the mantra of their life, not just to lift themselves, but each other, the governments of the world are automatically rendered obsolete.
Government is funded by the people - then the governments use those funds to manufacture war, in order to further sustain the democratic cashflow that keeps them in business. Therefore, when people pull their funds and redirect them themselves, towards actual, tangible, humanitarian initiatives, there isn't going to be a government. It's only the humanitarian indifference of the citizens that keeps governments alive, that in turn keep borders and wars alive. Once the citizens are actually, genuinely, nontheoretically accountable of the welfare of society, beyond the prehistoric paradigm peddled by the state, all Capitol, Kremlin and White Hall will crumble to dust.”

“Citizenry is the problem,
Citizenry is the answer.
When citizenry decides on peace,
Albeit reluctant, world leaders wither.
I know no constitution but conscience,
I know no tradition but compassion.
Belonging is my Bible, kindness is my Quran -
The living need no handbook to right and wrong.
Recognition or no recognition,
Human never forgets to be human.
The entire Abhijit Naskar legacy
was created without any recognition.
Then why did I continue you ask,
Because I never wrote for admiration.
I write to provide shelter to all,
And electrify their veins into action.
Whining might suit the spineless,
Bravehearts are ever vigilant in duty.
Once you make people your life's cause,
Nothing can diminish your tenacity.”

“Kral Fakir (Servant King Sonnet)
İnsanı seven herkes resul,
Yardım eden herkes kraldır.
Bencil servet hayvanlara mübarek,
İnsan ben, kimliğim kral fakir.
Every human who loves a human is apostle,
Every human who helps a human is king.
Animals may feast on selfish luxury,
As for me, I am a servant king.
King is the servant,
Servant is king.
Being is the harvest,
Harvest is the being.
Life lived for self is goods,
Life lived for others is gift.
Time spent on self is product,
Time spent on others is present.

Still it won't be enough to fill their eyes.
Spend a single wise cent on someone in need,

“My Pronoun is People
(Inclusivity Sonnet, 1266)
My pronoun is people,
I'm divergent, yet invincible.
I am straight, I am queer;
I am civilian, I am seer.
Spirit of life, I - am universal!
Call me disabled or differently able,
Call me collective or individual.
Fleshly forms I've got plenty,
All run by same love and liberty -
Culture supreme is inclusion.
Each heart is a shelter for another,
Each life is sanctuary for another.
Blasting all traditions of divide
into cinders with knowledge-dynamite,
we shall emerge as each other's keeper.
You ask, what am I - I say, I am human,
Better yet, I'm human's idea of a human.
I am but the human absolute -
morally unbending 'n divinely cute -
ever evolving testament to expansion.”

“English is my work language,
Turkish is my love language,
Spanish is my play language,
Telugu is my leisure language.
This would probably be different for you - perhaps for you, it all happens in one language - English, and that's perfectly fine. Different people are inspired in different ways - it's alright - as long as all our inspirations converge into one result - a better world for all - where there is no interracial dialogue, there is no intercultural communication, there is no interreligious relations - because - there is but one race, humanity - there is but one culture, humanity - there is but one religion, humanity.”

“Guns Are Viagra (Sonnet 1262)
Indifference does more damage than inhumanity,
For animals can't be expected to be human.
Humans are human when they are accountable,
Passive spectators are worse than inhuman.
Silence of the peacelovers is more damaging
than violence of the warmongers.
Till the very thought of guns makes you sick,
you are only playing make believe peacekeepers.
Guns are just viagra for the impotent,
Bullets are but crutches for centipedes.
When there's no substance in mind and spine,
Monkeys tend to cower behind semiautomatics.
More backward a country,
more its fascination with guns and bombs.
That's why you cannot imagine a hero,
without a gun in their hands.
Real heroes don't carry guns,
Real heroes don't wear capes.
Wearing a smile, carrying a spine,
Real heroes work to rescue peace,
from the clutches of states.”

“Give Me A Keyboard,
I'll Give You Revolution
(The Sonnet)
I just want to write -
that's all I ever want -
to write, write and write!
The day the words stop coming,
will be my last corporeal night.
Either I shall die by an assassin's bullet,
or I shall die on my keyboard,
but I refuse to die of old-age and disease.
Death scares those who are scared of life,
I have already lived my life in service.
I live on keyboard, I'll die on keyboard,
Keyboard is my instrument of illumination.
Nothing short could satisfy my palate -
Give me a keyboard, I'll give you revolution.
With my keyboard I've defended the meek,
With my keyboard I've castrated the pricks.
With my keyboard I've brought down dictators,
With my keyboard I've schooled bigoted pigs.
With my keyboard I've raised Gods by hundreds,
With my keyboard I've delivered world-builders.
With my keyboard I've produced hatebusters,
With my keyboard I've raised bulldozers.
Death is but a myth - body dies, not bulldozer;
Body is merely a vessel for the mission.
If you want your ideas to live forever,
You gotta sacrifice your life for a vision.
I never lived as body, but only as a dream -
My life is testament to the dream of united earth.
I don't have a message, for I am the message -
Sacrifice is beacon, that illuminates the universe.”
