Character No Commodity (The Sonnet) | Mücadele Muhabbet
Character, I say, is no commodity,
To be traded in for luxury.
Integrity, I say, is no commodity,
To be traded in for security,
Virtues, I say, are no commodity,
To be traded in for applause.
Values, I say, are no commodity,
To be traded in for comfort.
Warmth, I say, is no commodity,
To be traded in for image.
Humility, I say, is no commodity,
To be traded in for respect.
A life without honor, I say,
Is a life totally gone astray.
To be traded in for luxury.

The God Commandment (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets
Love who you like,
stay single if you choose.
Have kids when you like,
or abort if you choose.
Keep god or not as you need,
convert to whatever you like.
There is no other grand design,
except a beautiful human mind.
What you believe or don’t is of no
consequence, one true god or another.
Imaginary friends are often therapeutic,
just don’t thrust your friend on another.
In my heart there is Mecca,
in my heart there is Bethlehem.
Humans come first, gods are disposable,
human choice is the God commandment.
