“Naskar is not linear, Naskar is not binary, remember that, before you start analyzing Naskar with your two little backwater, linear, binary brain cells. I roam across dimensions, across disciplines, across cultures, languages, and timelines, across entire spectrums of electrochemical experiences, of which the tribally paralyzed carbon based, mammalian, biped lifeform can only register a sliver.”

“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!”

“Naskar not Nascar (The Sonnet)
Naskar is an alter ego,
Naskar is a calling,
a madness bigger than sanity,
not chained to one being.
Even Abi is no match for Naskar,
Abi will perish, not Naskar.
Naskar is a chemical catastrophe,
priming humans as kind thunder.
Naskar is factory of humanitarians,
imbued with wonders against malice.
Muscle up your heart, heart up your brain,
uncontaminated by leanings of prejudice.
Nascar is a race, Naskar is a journey,
voyage of sapiens ushering in humanity.
Surpassing constraints of archaic bigotry,
Naskar is Manifest Humanity.”

“Naskar's Folly (The Sonnet)
If your perception doesn't evolve with time,
It's not a sign of conviction but cowardice.
So in this sonnet I take it upon myself,
to correct my own early follies.
In one of my early works I called America,
"a great country, built by great people,"
while the harsh humanitarian fact of earth is,
America is a terrorist nation, built by criminals.
I once naively asked to 'appreciate the soldiers',
while unintentionally undermining peace-activism.
That one line has been eating me alive, until
in 2023 I declared, "military is legal terrorism."
Own up your follies, use them to sharpen your conviction.
Mistakes acknowledged are the beginning of illumination.”

“Naskar Syndrome (The Sonnet)
If you value mission over money,
you got the Naskar syndrome.
If you value mind over machine,
you got the Naskar syndrome.
Value listening over scrolling,
and you got the Naskar syndrome.
If you value behavior over belief,
you got the Naskar syndrome.
If you value rights over ritual,
you got the Naskar syndrome.
If you value life over doctrine,
you got the Naskar syndrome.
Rise, revolt and roar for reform,
then you are my soldier of dawn.
Awake, aspire, and ascend in light,
then you are my fulfilled vision.”

“Naskar, The Journey
(Sonnet 1540)
The journey began with Art of Neuroscience,
I was the rookie scholar in the block.
Amateurish intellectualism was quite evident,
till my voice took charge in the 11th work.
Finally yours truly was speaking on his own,
without leaning on those who came before.
Riding on a whim, along came sonnets,
Prose and poetry fused in Naskarean ore.
Thus original Naskar started pouring out, as
Hurricane Human, Hometown Human 'n more,
Martyr Meets World to Mücadele Muhabbet,
all as bedrock of assimilation galore.
The journey that began with science,
soon turned into a humanitarian tsunami.
Rooted in love, tempered by reason -
I'm the furnace of peace, piety 'n poetry.”

“Naskar, The Origin Story
(Sonnet 1999)
Naren, Subhas, Abhijit,
three vessels, one spirit.
All three spring from paramhansa,
in paramhansa we three perish.
One mission, three vessels -
one teacher, three students.
Erase the one teacher, and
you erase our driving promise.
Before the scientist emerged poet,
he was but a wandering monk -
born nirvikalpa from sahasrara Gadadhar -
Naren, Subhas, Abhijit, are not three but one.
Awake, arise, adopt the world!
Give me brains, and give me heart.
Whenever fear and fanaticism take hold,
from amongst you will rise a Naskar.”
Source: Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
“Naskar the person died long ago, now what lives in front of you, and indeed within you, is Naskar the idea - the idea of one humanity - the idea of a harmonious humanity - a humanity that places the benefit of the neighbor above the benefit of the self - a humanity that places the significance of shared joy above the joy of the individual - a humanity that lives not in a chaotic planet, but in a truly intertwined conscientious society.”

“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.”

“Naskar works in mysterious ways (Sonnet 2821)
Naskar is not linear, Naskar is not binary,
remember that, before you start analyzing
Naskar with your two little backwater,
linear, binary brain cells.
I roam across dimensions, across disciplines,
across cultures, languages, and timelines,
across entire spectrums of electrochemical experiences,
of which the tribally paralyzed carbon based,
mammalian, biped lifeform can only register a sliver.
I'm a life containing a moment,
I'm a moment containing a lifetime.
I'm a mind containing a message,
I'm the message containing a mind.”

“Naskargen (Sonnet 3000)
It all started with a promise -
Liberty is my religion, Humans are my God;
what took to paper as a penniless dream,
ignited the planet with culture of integration.
Journey of civilization begins with
one person rejecting an outdated tradition,
evolution of apes to human begins with
one person disposing of their flag in a museum.
Divinity of the past was based in sky-fiction,
divinity of the present must be rooted in life;
science of the robots revolves around metal,
science of the humans must center around mind.
Faith fixated on no prophecy, no propaganda,
I entrust my promise upon you,
my promise, my rebellion, my madness -
if there is not a single Naskar in sight,
be the Naskar of your generation.”

“Naskarism, Marxism, Buddhism, Sufism, Confucianism, Christianism, Judaism, it's all human construct. As such, none of it is infallible. Yours truly admits that, so did my friend Sid (Buddha), as well as my brother Mevlana (Rumi). And what's wrong with acknowledging the possibility of folly anyway! It is only through folly that fervor unfolds - it is only through mistakes that the mind expands.”

“Naskaristana 2789
I arrived with a clever brain,
walked among clever apes,
studied history written by winners,
so I could earn some ape respect.
Then I got weary of all the hypocrisy,
idolizing morons as savior of humanity,
mistaking the lens for the landscape,
confusing privilege as social sanity -
frustrated I plunged into fire,
brain, vanity, esteem, the lot,
all reputation burnt to ashes,
what remain is unflinching humanity.”

“Nasred trga, oko Piramide Napoleonove, vrte se sjajni automobili. Ne zato što tehnika napreduje, nego je to uspomena na karusele. Ta sjajna zvezda vrtloga dovoljna je da ceo grad zavoli vrtlog zvezda. Šare na stubu, koji kao kameni mač strši iz zemlje, sa gotskom oštrinom, niko ne može da pročita. Kamene žene, koje predstavljaju složne francuske gradove, uzalud čitaju. U njihovim očima, sa kojih kaplje kiša, zjapi samo ironija kamena u noći. Dani prolaze, i svaki vrši svoj posao. Ban Jelačić, na konju, sred Zagreba, pokazuje mačem na Mađarsku, i zaboravlja da spusti ruku. Dositej elegantno skida šešir, i ulazi sa Kalemegdana u hotel „Krunu“, a nikako da uđe. Da, da, ja „futurista“ imam osećaj da se uopšte, negde u svemiru, nešto skamenilo, i da nikako neće ući u hotel. Hijeroglifi mirno stoje, automobili se vrte i jure oko njih, a nikako da ih pročitaju. Kiša sipa, sitna, beskrajna - no to ne treba nikog da uznemiruje. Eno Madlen, posuta helenskom limunadom, stoji, sva crna, u noći – seća se izginulih vojnika Velike armije za koje je zidana, i misli na otmene svadbe koje su, u njoj, češće nego otmena krštenja. Dva velika, zažarena oka Orleanske stanice gledaju mirno u Senu. Da, samo sam ja patetičan, noći je svejedno.
Pobesneli konji spomenika na Gran Paleu hoće da skoče dole. Poda mnom, duboko, u zemlji, ispod Sene, jure vozovi, a kraj mene prolaze zagrljeni parovi, i protrčavaju mačke. U Carigradu vole pse, ovde mačke. Ljubav je večna, beskrajna, i opšta. Svi su parovi jednaki, i sve mačke crne. Neka vas ne vređa sve ovo. U Čikagu ima jedan pesnik, optimista, on peva i slavi velike gradove, ogroman život, i večno, zaljubljeno čovečanstvo. Ja, mada sam civilizovan, kao i ostali naši književnici, i ne bih prevrnuo čašu na dvorskom ručku, ipak, gledam ove mokre, ogromne konture sa mnogo manje divljenja.
Potomak pastira, sa malo razumljive afektacije, znam da su plavi zidovi nebesa ogromniji; vidim zvezdane površine reka, šuma i gora, i osećam da ću jednom, teškim korakom, hodati po njima, davno zaboravivši sve ovo. Oprostite što teško prelazim na stvar. Sve te zamršene misli jure po glavi, iz kineskih pesama, iz knjiga o gotici. Ta vi znate da nema Srbina koji može zamisliti da neko i kod nas može šta zamisliti. U detinjstvu smo odrasli sa konturama Bocarećeva Šarca, i sa divnom konturom Saborne crkve, a sad smo klasičari, kosmičari, kubiste, radikali, već kako ko – pa je malo teško. Zar ne ?
Ipak, ja sam ovde, umoran i prokisao, samo zato da vam javim da se, već jednom, opet setite večnosti.
U ogromnim ovim vrtovima i širinama, pod granjem mokrim, koje znam da je počelo da pupi, ovde gde je Pariz najlepši, zastajem da vam javim – pre nego što vam počnem pisati o parlamentima, Evropi, izložbama, Srbima na Sen Mišelu – da zaboravite već jednom sve, da se opet jednom, bezbrižni, setite večnosti. Stojim visoko. Dubina mosta d'Jena, koja se beli i sjaji od kiše, i prolazi ispod čudovišta Ajfelova, odvodi u beskraj. Nigde na svetu nije ovako duboka voda i ovako široko nebo. Veliki vrtovi u kojima cvetaju svetiljke, zelene, žute i crvene; njino svetlucanje u vodama, polako diže ceo Pariz u providan, jutarnji zrak. Kiša se jedva oseća. Prvi tramvaji prolaze. Daleko, u stajaćoj, širokoj vodi, suro, kao neka galija čuvarica u luci, sa svojim crvenim svetiljkama, ljulja se ostrvo Pariza, sa starim zidovima i gotskim kulama. Nad Notrdamom se vedri, trepere pobledele zvezde, kao iskre bežičnog brzojava. Oni javljaju da dolazi proleće.”

“Nastavio sam da njuškam letnji suton. Nema adrenalina bez benzina. Točkovi su strugali, frikcija se pojačavala. Zavirivao sam u senovite prolaze tržnih centara: profesionalni lažnjaci se uvaljuju profesionalnim amaterima. Dauntaun je pomirljivo tonuo u daun. Prizor liči na razglednicu unutrašnjosti. Glavna vena Nišvila je definitivno predozirana bednjikavim gruvom. Ovaj grad je elementarna nepogoda. Sve je manje fliperana i klubova sa džuboks aparatima. Sve je manje poslastičara u kojima služe bozu i kadif. Sve je manje knjižara u kojima se prodaju knjige. Sve je manje dobrih stripova i porno časopisa na buvljacima. Sve je manje bioskopa koji ne zvrje prazni i gde dronjavo platno ne liči na paravan u seoskim ambulantama. Nema patine u Nišvilu, osim one švercovane - za brzu prodaju i brzu upotrebu.
Jebi ga, ponekad mi nedostaje moji grad.Sve je više neona na pogrešnim mestima, i sve je više pogrešnih mesta, i sve je više ljudi koji umiru od želje da se zabave i ispričaju nekome kako je zabavno bilo. "Niko ovde nije poludeo od zabave", rekla je Kinki kada je kupila nove uredjaje za koje nije bilo dovoljno da ih uključiš u struju pa da prorade. Morao si da povezuješ komponente, tumačeći nacrtana uputstva da bi se, napokon, pojavila slika i zvuk - jasniji i čistiji od prethodnih slika i zvukova.”
