“Drunken Humanitarian (Sonnet) Go, get drunk, my friend! Get so drunk with a vision unseen, even monsoon begins to cry! Get so drunk with an unbent cause, even bosons bow to thy might! Get so drunk with incorruptibility, you emerge a walking Wardencliffe. Get so drunk with accountability, no Rorschach can analyze your spirit. Get so drunk with uncontaminated justice, every government keeps a file on you! Get so drunk with untainted love, conclaves convene to decipher you! Any ape can find salvation in liquid escape, takes a human to endure through devastation. Any rodent of the gutter can drown in alcohol, it takes a giant to drink the world's poison.”

“Martyr's Dilemma (An Existential Sonnet, 1349) Abhijit Naskar are two, not one. Abhijit the person, Naskar the mission. Abhijit has dreams like an ordinary man, While Naskar is the dream of world union. Abhijit put his hopes and dreams away, So that Naskar could engulf the world. Abhijit even got dumped by the girl, Because Naskar couldn't dump the world. The question is, do I regret all this! With all honesty - yes, I do on occasion. All the vastness of Naskar isn't enough, to make up for the things I missed out on. The point is, it's okay to have regrets, You ain't alive till you have regrets. Yet I never abandoned my duty to the world, For my mission is bigger than my regrets.”

“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.”

“It's a tragic state of affairs, when we get used to the sight of blood. If the sight of blood makes you sick, it's good - it's a sign that your humanity isn't yet lost.”

“I wiped out my cultural identity, I wiped out my religious identity, I wiped out my national identity as well as my gender identity. In short, I wiped myself out from my psyche, only then I found a place in each and every heart of this world, only then I became the voice of each and every person on earth.”

“Explode With Love (The Sonnet) When the heart explodes with love, The world implodes with peace. When the eyes explode with oneness, All divisions will begin to ease. The road to an undivided society, Goes through an undivided heart. Be one with everyone and everywhere, Shatter all habits that make you part. There's no division that can't be conquered, The question is not of possibility but intent. All is right when intention is right, All are one when the heart is unbent. Devotion to one culture diminishes humanity. Devote yourself to the world, and lo pours harmony.”

“Neither fossil fuel nor artificial intelligence is the problem - the real danger is greed. Do you think everybody will live happily ever after, once you replace fossil fuel with green energy! No - they won't! Apekind will simply use green energy to power their greed instead of oil and gas. They will use green energy to wage war, they'll use green energy to kill people. US military is already developing a high-endurance unmanned solar powered aircraft, to be used as a communication relay platform and for surveillance. Besides, solar powered reconnaissance drones have already been in military use for some years now, in various parts of the world. Which means, the planet will be safer, but the people will be in just as much muck as they are today. Apparently, there is a limit to fossil fuel, but there is no limit to human stupidity. Apekind will find one way or another to continue with their "kill or be killed" nonsense, just like any other animal in the wild. And every time government officials will make the same old statement, "it's necessary for national security" - just as power hungry tribal chiefs have been saying since our jungle days, before putting millions upon millions to death! So, my question is - what good is green energy if it's used for the same inhuman purposes as fossil fuel! Treat greed first, you fools - treat greed first! Then you won't need to make a ton of empty promises and winded policies for a sustainable future - because where there is no greed, sustainability flows like spring water. Treat greed first, then I shall call you humankind - until then, you are nothing but apekind. Without the green of heart, what green apes, what oil apes - all energy leads to but one color - the color of blood - red! Energy used to sustain the same old paradigm of greed, control and disparity, is anything but clean - no matter what it says on the label.”

“What did we really achieve by replacing the orange-haired orangutan with a better alternative, if that better alternative ultimately fails as horribly as his predecessor, when things get really desperate. I may not be a US citizen, but I am a US taxpayer, and when tax dollars from my books on peace and justice are used to aid and fund genocide and war, I find it difficult to maintain respect for such new administration. Citizens of earth could end all wars in a year - boycott all tax-filing unless your governments cease all defense activities for good.”

“Earthright Anthem (Sonnet 2613-2615) The soil is older than every border, older than flags and state decree. Earth is property of no brute empire, nor promised prize of manifest atrocity. No badge can baptize brutality, no holy water can bleach blood stains - the land remembers the salt of tears of every people ever slain. Women are indigenous to their bodies, Palestinians are native to their home. Privilege cannot buy righteousness, nor can blind faith redraw chromosome. When erasure becomes ape religion, mutiny becomes human right. Stars that burn for others, wither in body, but live in light. From Palestine to Kashmir to America, every land shall be humanized, not by bullets and atom bombs, but by atomic people against the lies. Acts of terror by governments are still terror all the same, genocide wrapped in diplomacy is just murder by another name. Divide and rule, marks the animal, unite and integrate, makes humankind. We are stardust come alive - unbent, unflinching, borderless mind. Human is the bridge, and bridge is the truth. Nobody is undocumented, on a planet built on loot.”

“Yesterday's world was obsessed with swords, today's world is obsessed with guns, tomorrow's world will be obsessed with AI, and it always ends up with death and destruction. Day after tomorrow it'll be business as usual, savage world will be back obsessing with fire, then again with swords, then guns, and so on, till the sky pours ashes and seas boil over.”

“Never Serve Your Nation (Sonnet) Educate your children never to serve your nation; to serve the nation makes monkey out of human, killing on the basis of nationality and religion. If you wanna serve your nation, serve through science, serve through art, serve through music, literature, industry, but never through military. However, if you wanna make crime your career, with all the glorious decorations - kill one person, it's murder - kill in bulk, it's patriotism. Soldiers are just glorified webcam models, standing erect to serve political libido. Be the human your flesh appears to be, or go back to the jungle, your mind is suited so. Science, arts, music, innovation, that's how you serve a nation. There is no greater dipsomaniac profession, than militarist infestation.”

“Earthistani - The Unpatriot Anthem (2505) There is only one nation I give a damn about, there is only one religion I give a damn about, there is only one tradition I give a damn about, there is only one culture I give a damn about - there is only one scripture I give a damn about, there is only one constitution I give a damn about, there is only one sacred I give a damn about, there is only one science I give a damn about - the scripture I heed is conscience, the constitution I heed is backbone, the science I practice is service, the sacred I hold is oneness - marham na mazhab dekhe, marham na dekhe mulk, la medicina no ve la fe, my existence is the proof - the culture I carry is integration, the tradition I carry is tolerance, the religion I carry is reformation - armed with a hundred billion nerve cells, here I stand Human, My Nation, Earthistan!”

“You don't need much to win the trust of apes, just say you'll make lots and lots of bombs, because in the book of apes, to be free is to be feared, and to be feared is to develop the capacity to kill fellow human beings - that's an absolute must in the democracy of monkeys, not brain, not heart, not character whatsoever, just the most acute animal instinct for killing, and this is what the apes call Geopolitics!”

“Military is Legal Terrorism (Ceasefire Sonnet) Any planet that confuses guns with gallantry is a planet of apes. Prioritizing military over education, we only build a world full of terrorists. Military is just legal terrorism, To fathom this you gotta be human. What do monkeys know of peace and love, When guns are their emblem of patriotism! We don't need civilian disarmament, We need absolute universal disarmament. Only a worldwide ban on firearms production, Can facilitate a paradigm of peaceful coexistence. Let's see which nation has the heart and backbone, To legislate absolute ban on firearms manufacture! Let's see who are the first civilized people, Let's see which nation is the first peacemaker! What's the point of one ceasefire, Let's pull the plug on all war. Let's disband all military, and siphon those funds to housing, education and healthcare.”

“World First, Nation Never (Denationalizing Sonnet) No government wants to manufacture terror, But they do want to manufacture control. In doing so they end up manufacturing terror, Thus they end up manufacturing war. There is no such thing as war on terrorism, The whole narrative is rigged to peddle fear. Citizens without fear are citizens without border, Democratic autocracy thrives on civilian fear. Ceasefire only postpones war, What’s needed is demilitarization. Till borderly apes wake apart national pride, Democracy only sustains a paradigm of poison. World first and forever, nation never; Till then, all blood is on your hands. Either you are a nation’s simian citizen, or you are planet earth’s civilized human.”

“Orphanizers (Demilitarization Sonnet, 1303) Show me a nation with a huge defense budget, I'll show you a demented nation. Show me a nation with a big education budget, I'll show you a nation of the future. Disband the soldiers, empower the teachers, Thus you plant the paradigm of peace. Abolish all pride in nation's military, Thus you emerge as maker of peace. The real warmongers of the world are, Not the world leaders, but the civilians, Who can't think past the strength of military, Who take pride in a genocidal arsenal of weapons. With such civilian primitiveness rampant in society, No conference can ensure the promise of peace. If you really want to ensure peace on planet earth, Denounce all politics and democracy militarist. Stop taking pride in your national military, That very pride floods the world with orphans. Amidst the herd of widowmakers and orphanizers, Wake up alone, and slogan for demilitarization!”

“Genocide is Patriotism (Sonnet 1634) National anthems count for nothing, when the nations are full of monkeys, monkeys who keep buying bloodshed, in the name of national security. Genocide is patriotism, thus teaches the textbook of defense and diplomacy. What else do you expect from legal texts, concocted by a bunch of stoneage monkeys! Monkey kill, monkey laugh - Monkeys are honored with medal! Airforce, army, navy - so many ways to maintain status quo of the jungle! The purpose of every national anthem is to enforce and maintain a status quo of war. Show me a human without national pride, I'll show you the pathway out of war.”

“Armistice Sonnet Ceasefire is a diplomatic gimmick, They cease only to hit back harder. Demilitarization is what we need, We got no use for one more ceasefire. Ceasefire only postpones war, disarmament instills peace. Armistice empowers armament, demilitarization plants peace. Tyrants don't call truce to allow aid, but only to rearm themselves, so they can call in more ammunition, from their apely imperialist friends. One more ceasefire we could do without, World is wailing for the final ceasefire. Disown every statesman who prides military, Builders of military are merchants of murder.”

“Peace, A Crime Against State (The Sonnet) There's no difference between a soldier and a contract killer. Hitmen are paid to kill individuals, Soldiers are paid to kill in bulk. Righteous soldiers don't exist, they only exist in fairytale movies. No academy trains youngsters for peace, they manufacture state-abiding terrorists. If any soldier ever wakes up to peace, they're instantly discharged without honor. Thinking soldiers are no use to state, States only want brainless suicide bombers. Enemy of war is enemy of the state, Making of peace is crime against state.”
