Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“The Illiterate (A Sonnet) I am poetry, I am the poet. I am literature, Yet I am illiterate. Illiterate am I of intellect, Illiterate am I of rituals. My literacy comes from the soil, My literacy makes the world equal. Drunkard am I, absurd am I, All I know is but love's insanity, Past all Cross and MC squared, Love is the only cosmic literacy. Be literate of books and brain, But more so of the dormant light. Literacy of letters earns you living, Literacy of love earns you a life.”

“Lock-n-Key (The Sonnet) I am the lock, You are the key. Sight of your smile, showers me with glee. I got no need for church-n-mosque, Got no need for God or Jehovah. These are for those seeking security, Upon love's face unfolds my Mecca. Yesterday I was a sensible infant, I studied scripture seeking holiness. Today I am a grownass nutter, Only godly gift is love's holy mess. Bibles are expendable, Altars are expendable. Till love takes preference, God itself is expendable.”

“Amor Apocalypse is headed our way, Now that Roe vs Wade is overturned. Love is where the scrotum-brain scotus, Will lay next their filthy hand. First they came for our choice, Then they'll come for our love. Soon they'll go for good old lynching, Land of the free will be land of the shrubs. Straight and queer are products of a bipolar world, In the sanctuary of love there's no straight, no queer. In love's domain queer is straight, straight is queer, A heart full of love and light is radiantly nonpolar.”

“A woman’s number one relationship goal should be with herself first. Liking, loving, and valuing who she is will set the standard for what kind of man she chooses to date and/or marry. She’s got to not only know her worth, but she’s got to protect it, too! Protect it from men that don’t mean her any good. Dead-end, unhealthy, and toxic relationships won’t be something that she cares to entertain. Her self-love won’t allow her to go down that road.”

“Black brings out the galaxy in the sky, and it defines the Milky Way. Black is my favorite color because it is a determined color; it is fearless, strong, and very powerful. You cannot ignore the color black—it stands out more than any color. I love the color black because it has the hardest time. All my life, I had a hard time and had to start again, but I am making it out. Black helps me clarify who I am—I am burning in the night of darkness, and I can see and acknowledge my flames. I have survived because I have written my own story. I did not let anyone write it for me.”
