“World Poachers (Sonnet 1502)

The western alliance didn't fight Hitler
because he tortured the Jewish people,
they fought him because he was't gonna
show anyone any special consideration.

Jews were never the focus of World War 2,
It was about the invaders being invaded.
Lo and behold, Nazis are the villain,
though England, Belgium, France, Spain
and Portugal caused far worse damage!

If you feel one way about Hitler,
and another way about Churchill,
your opinion is of no consequence,
living on a whitewashed dunghill.

Rushmore is a monument of massacre,
Buckingham is a palace of plunderers.
Till you denounce all atrocious heritage,
You're just animal heir to world poachers.”

“National Reserve (The Sonnet)

Every nation has its Netanyahu,
Somewhere they're called Trump,
Somewhere they are Recep Erdoğan,
Somewhere they are Meloni or Modi,
Somewhere they're called Imran Khan.

Thus Christ becomes a vessel of hate,
Koran is used to peddle division.
Saffron substitutes the color of blood,
Discrimination becomes the new tradition.

Somewhere they cut Islam from curriculum,
Somewhere they convert museum into mosque,
Somewhere they erase black history - it's all
part-n-parcel of the same nationalist muck.

Rip the mask of a nationalist patriot,
You'll find dormant a homicidal maniac.
Nationalism has no religion or ethnicity,
Only appearance changes, not the nut.

Beware of these nutjobs of nationalism,
selling you the jungle wrapped in tradition!
If you don't vote them off their throne asap,
they'll turn a free nation into reservation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Whole world is my promised land,
Which part will you invade!
When entire planet is Palestine,
It is Israel that will fade.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Planet Palestine (Sonnet 1503)

Whole world is my promised land,
Which part will you invade!
When the entire planet is Palestine,
It is Israel that will fade.

Gone are the days of unchallenged tyranny,
Gone are the days of exploiting native trust.
In the past you got away with many Rushmores;
Try it today, you'll end up another Liz Truss.

You can have your puny guns and bombs,
I have an arsenal far mightier than thee.
Colonial apes may fund your homicidalism,
I have the entire humankind backing me.

When governments are on one side,
and humankind on the other,
that's the first sign of democracy,
and curtain call for the occupier.

We the people promise our planet to Palestine.
What'll you do now - call us all anti-semite!”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

I write because my mind succumbs
to psychosis, if I don't write.

I write because I fall to pieces, even
at the thought of not being able to write.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

Kill one chimp, ten more will take his place.

Kâinat ben.
Benim iznim yoksa
güneş de hareketsiz.

Sen benim kardeşimsin,
bunu asla unutma.”
