“Colonizer of A Different Kind
(The Sonnet)
Only the shape of colonialism
has changed, not the nature.
Tendencies are just as filthy,
rightful heir to animal disaster.
I too am a colonizer,
but of a different kind.
I colonize no home by force,
with words I colonize minds.
Humanitarianism is civilized colonialism -
simpler still, humanitarianism is civilization.
That's the contagion my literature carries,
through my proses and sonnetic revelation.
First thousand were an accident,
Second thousand, a promise.
Answer to traditional animosity,
Antidote to doting prejudice.”

“Failing to be American (The Sonnet)
I've tried to rekindle the American sentiment
of my early days of writing, but in vain.
Once you wake up to the vastness of the world,
it is impossible to revert to the tribal lane.
I broke into the world scene as a westerner but,
Naskar the American writer exists no longer.
Today Naskar is but an Earth philosopher,
There is only Naskar the Earth reformer.
In the early years when I wrote on America,
I used to write as an American writer.
Today when I write on any nation,
I write as an Earth writer.
The whole world is my diary,
I am the world's destiny.
Try as they might to maintain prejudice,
I am the line between humanity and nationality.”

“Quite often I lose count of my works,
Yet I've never had a fancy book launch.
I write in silence, I release in silence,
I have no relation to praise and applause.
I am the peak of humanitarian literature,
All without an ounce of support or award.
I am not a writer, I am world reformer,
My first concern is an integrated world.”

“Miracle and Migraine (Sonnet 1370)
Words are my leisure,
Words are my life.
Words are my gift to thee,
Use 'em wisely for light.
Kind words cost us nothing,
Cruel words will cost us all.
Faith in people costs us nothing,
Systemic mistrust will end us all.
It is common knowledge in the circle,
I don't control words, I get visions.
However, every miracle takes its toll,
Hence, the migraines are getting worse.
I don't mind, so long as I am ointment.
You keep the magic, I'll keep the pain.”

“Someone asked me the other day, do I like to write prose better or poetry? To which I can only say - both are fundamental to my works. In fact, I started out with prose, as you might remember - and my most invigorating ideas came to this world in the form of prose. Along the way, I felt a craving for poetry, so quite on a whim I wrote the first sonnet. Suddenly an entire new horizon opened up to me. Eventually prose and poetry became equally potent carrier of my ideas - they became complimentary to each other - they became supplementary to each other. However, I do admit, as I grow older, I'm getting more and more drawn towards poetry as my primary vessel.”

“Try to imagine this formless, liquid abyss of many waters and surfaces. With and within this awesome, abysmal substance, God Mother creates universes. We are made from this stuff, literally! And we literally live, move, and have our being in this fathomless, multi-dimensional matrix.”

“I don't write to sell books, I write because my mind teeters on the edge of psychosis if I spend a single day without writing.”
