Carry on Up The Tower (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

British museum is not a repository of relics,
it’s a time capsule of british barbarism.
It’s a classic case of cannibalism, narcissism,
kleptomania and psychopathy combined in one.

Tower of London is not a heritage site,
it’s the Bedlam of the british.
The title of “heritage site” belongs
to memories of pride, not primitives.

Buckingham palace is not a noble home,
it’s the national zoo of England,
where they coddle massacre ‘n stagnation,
with no civil initiative for atonement.

Nobility of blood is nobility of the jungle,
modern nobility involves substance of character,
whose identity isn’t anchored in transgressions,
bloodline defines chimps, humans by behavior.

The Beggar King (Sonnet 2314) – Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat


I wear the same casual outfit everywhere,
pair of jeans with a shirt or tshirt –
people wear fancy clothes either to
look and feel good, or impress others,
I have no need for either, so I walk like beggar.

Vanity and validation are for the small of mind,
Himalayan Human has no need for cosmetic adornment.
The Sun is beyond the realms of humility and hubris,
I’m neither humble nor hubrous, just burning with mission.

I wear my backbone as battery, brain is my currency,
heart is my bedrock, character is my legacy.
I see neither man nor woman, I only see human;
I see neither rich nor poor, I only see behavior.

Savages are known by aristocratic opulence,
Sapiens is known by vagrant virtue-n-valiance.
