“Time for Pestcontrol (Naskaristana 2624) It's a sad state of affairs when the geopolitical jungle of our world makes me wish as a biologist, that politics were a genetic characteristic, then we could engineer a virus to wipe out every single politician from the face of earth - and the beauty of it is that, you won't even notice their absence, because every democratic nation has a capable body of civil servants, though partially lazy and corrupt, who would keep the wheel of democracy turning, with the guidance of scholars and scientists, like it's just another Tuesday, because these people are the real engine of democracy. Let's call it "Operation Pestcontrol". But alas, politics is not a genetic trait, and killing the fascist doesn't end fascism, only delays it, so we'd have to take the only other, more tedious but actually lasting alternative, which is, no more compromise with fascism - either be the human citizen of planet earth and confront the authoritarian elements of your part of the world, or do not call yourself human!”

“Naskar vs States of Earth (Sonnet 2635) On planet earth everyone is citizen, regimes that deny rights require psychiatric treatment. Politicians that run concentration camps deserve more holes than they got, yet don't, just put Uncle in a home. Flags that sell hate deserve to be burnt, yet don't burn them, just leave them behind. Badges that strike fear among the innocents deserve to be slaughtered, yet don't slaughter, just cripple them with vigil disobedience. I'm the Original Virtue that predates vermin vaticans, I'm the First Piety that predates all promised estate. I'm the Sacred Science that defangs all poison saffron, I'm the Ink of Mind that outdates doctrinal malignance. I'm the Original Swastika that predates all reichs, I'm the Sunrise that outlives puny stars and stripes. I'm Justice, I'm Dervish, I'm phenyl to the fascist - my footsteps are the law, I'm pesticide to prejudice. Crowns belong beneath my sneakers, white or not. When ICE comes, I stand here with a blowtorch.”
