You can keep your puny bottled charisma.
In a world of broken glass and
cigarette buds, I am Amor Armada.”

“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.”

“Dream Before Genes (The Sonnet)
As a teenager I only had one dream - immortality,
not fame, not wealth, but immortality.
I wanted to live on long after my body had perished,
and with sheer conviction I made it a reality.
Tomorrow if I fall asleep, I shall sleep contented,
for my mission will live on galvanizing brave veins.
My only regret is, I never got to raise a family,
it's the bittersweet price a reformer has to pay.
Abi the person had to be sacrificed,
for Naskar the dream to become a reality.
Anyone who says, they have no regrets,
never dared to live up to their full capacity.
I offered up my youth to lift up the world,
even got dumped, while lost in world building.
My genes might die with me, not my dream -
One day, not long now, whole world will be kin.”

“Naskar has never sought for recognition, neither should Naskareans. Work my soldiers, work - work for the welfare of this world with the last ounce of valiance in your veins. Only then shall you stand bold and proud, with a smile on your face, as a testament to my life. I don't want to live in my words - I want to live through you - I want you to be the proof that there ever was a human called Naskar. I exist, when you exist - as the absolute epitome of humanness possible - when you don't, I don't.
I don't want your allegiance - to me or anybody else! Allegiance is too petty a term to define what I want of you - for I don't want your allegiance - I want your annihilation - your absolute apocalyptic annihilation - for the ascension of humanity! Can you do that? Then what are you waiting for! Burn my books, and go lift the world! Let me live in your blood, not in books.”

“The CAS sent me to a therapist. He actually wasn’t half bad at first—real young, kinda cute, a bit stuck up with degrees in fancy IKEA frames all over his concrete walls and new-agey music playing. I mean, what kind of therapist has background music? Like was he going to massage my feet too? No doubt, he was making good money, though. To be honest, if he had made a move on me, I might have been okay with it.”

“Martyr for Humanity (The Sonnet)
I am not a writer, I am an anomaly,
For writers run empty after a few works.
I lost count of mine a long time ago,
Yet I keep imploding with no sign of cork.
My brain keeps making appointments,
That my body can't keep without crashing.
I am not finished with one work,
And lo, another one starts pouring!
Someone, please calm my brain!
The torture grows excruciating by the minute!
Any day now hopefully an artery will blow,
Then I shall finally have my eternal rest.
Once I am gone, don't go making a cult out of me.
I shall be alive, so long as there is one human
standing ready to be martyred for humanity.”

“World is My Valentine (The Sonnet)
My first and foremost love is society,
Romance 'n things are second priority.
My love seeks not to be loved in return,
In fact, my love thrives in cold nonreciprocity.
Mine is not to reason why, mine is to love and die,
There's no greater love than that of a one-sided lover.
The world is to me what Julia was to Saint Valentine,
And what the impoverished were to Nicholas Santa.
A world anemic in love needs a day to celebrate love,
I am a lover eternal, for me every day is valentine's day.
The world is my valentine, as such it is under my care,
It's my duty to protect it from Claudius' mischievous play.
I shall stop breathing before I break this pledge of mine.
There's no greater power than the pledge of a lover divine.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 12
After all this time, the sun doesn't say to us,
Listen you guys, you owe all your light to me.
The trees don’t grab our throat with its vines,
And yell, all your air and food are my charity.
A candle does not burn to be appraised,
But because to burn is the purpose of a candle.
A candle not burning is no candle at all,
Be a burning candle and live life purpose-driven.
Life is a vessel of infinite majesty and potential,
Let us not let it rot at the shore playing safe.
Come hail or high water, let us be shredded,
Let us be annihilated in service and in help.
Let us be human, let us be alive across all narrowness.
Let us be the shinning beacon of supreme unselfishness.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 47
Walk up to death,
And smile at your doom.
At the sight of your conviction,
Stars will begin to bloom.
Tread bravely on misery,
Defy anything that causes weakness.
At the sound of your courageous footsteps,
The soil will regain its fragrance.
Embolden your chest o mighty victor,
Against a hailstorm of ridicule.
Even the slight sound of your whisper,
Will give chills to the cruel.
Care for society, not its opinion of you.
Sacrifice all image and status, and stand up anew.”

“No Rest (The Sonnet)
There is no rest,
Till the last drop of tear is wiped out.
There is no leisure,
Till the voiceless can speak aloud.
There is no relaxing,
Till the last empty stomach is fed.
There is no sleep,
Till all droopy spines are made straight.
There is no joy,
Till the last grey life is colored.
There is no comfort,
Till the last anxious soul is empowered.
The struggle isn't over till the fallen rise.
Security later, first let us be civilized.”
