Be The Change, Not The Caption (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets


Do good, don’t delegate.
Go vital, not viral.
Dare the deed, not drama.
Be the specimen, not a spectacle.

Speak truth, not trends.
Carve meaning, not metrics.
Plant roots, not rumors.
Foster oneness, not optics.

Lend a hand, not hashtag.
Trigger action, not attention.
Stir up lives, not likes.
Be the change, not the caption.

Tierra Carta (Charter of Earth, S2498) – Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop



Nationality and religion are like blood groups,
it has no relation to human capacity and character,
despite the superstitions and conspiracy theories;
morons are found in every corner of the world,
just like mavericks are found in every corner.

The only difference between blood groups
and nationality is that, blood groups are
a fundamental factor of medical treatment,
whereas nationality and religion are
fleeting vestiges of an adolescent species.

I opened my eyes and couldn’t find a single precedent
of post-national, post-religion, post-lingual,
post-cultural existence, so I became the precedent.

My roots go deep down to the core of earth,
spread across the bones and marrow of the human race.
