Gun-Fetish (The Sonnet)
When I was in my teenage years,
I believed, having a gun would be so cool.
Then I grew up and it occurred to me,
Firearm fetish is but hysteria of the fool.
Guns don't make the society safe,
Any more than nukes ensure world peace.
Civilians carrying personal firearm,
Are but rabid dogs without a leash.
If you are worried about self-defense,
Daily practice some form of martial arts.
Your gun is not only a threat to you,
It is also a threat to your loved ones.
So I beg you my responsible civilian sibling,
Give up your gun and uphold peacemaking.

Military is Legal Terrorism (Ceasefire Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Yaralardan Yangın Doğar
Any planet that confuses guns
with gallantry is a planet of apes.
Prioritizing military over education,
we only build a world full of terrorists.
Military is just legal terrorism,
To fathom this you gotta be human.
What do monkeys know of peace and love,
When guns are their emblem of patriotism!
We don’t need civilian disarmament,
We need absolute universal disarmament.
Only a worldwide ban on firearms production,
Can facilitate a paradigm of peaceful coexistence.
Let’s see which nation has the heart and backbone,
To legislate absolute ban on firearms manufacture!
Let’s see who are the first civilized people,
Let’s see which nation is the first peacemaker!
What’s the point of one ceasefire,
Let’s pull the plug on all war.
Let’s disband all military, and siphon
those funds to housing, education and healthcare.

Guns Are Viagra (Sonnet 1262) | Abhijit Naskar | Yaralardan Yangın Doğar
“Those who think a nation is as strong as its military, belong in a mental hospital, not in government.”
“Guns Are Viagra (Sonnet 1262)
Indifference does more damage than inhumanity,
For animals can’t be expected to be human.
Humans are human when they are accountable,
Passive spectators are worse than inhuman.
Silence of the peacelovers is more damaging
than violence of the warmongers.
Till the very thought of guns makes you sick,
you are only playing make believe peacekeepers.
Guns are just viagra for the impotent,
Bullets are but crutches for centipedes.
When there’s no substance in mind and spine,
Monkeys tend to cower behind semiautomatics.
More backward a country,
more its fascination with guns and bombs.
That’s why you cannot imagine a hero,
without a gun in their hands.
Real heroes don’t carry guns,
Real heroes don’t wear capes.
Wearing a smile, carrying a spine,
Real heroes work to rescue peace,
from the clutches of states.”
