You are the miracle, you are the mutation. | Abhijit Naskar | Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
You are the sum of all science,
You are the life of all poetry.
You are the end to animosity,
You are the answer to conspiracy.
World’s light comes from your light,
It comes from the sacrifice of the few.
If these few ever became selfish,
Whole world would drown in dwindling dew.
You are the miracle you seek in church,
You are the gospel you seek in bible.
You are the reason behind civilization,
You are the mutation out of the jungle.
You are the life of all poetry.
You are the end to animosity,
You are the answer to conspiracy.
World’s light comes from your light,
It comes from the sacrifice of the few.
If these few ever became selfish,
Whole world would drown in dwindling dew.
You are the miracle you seek in church,
You are the gospel you seek in bible.
You are the reason behind civilization,
You are the mutation out of the jungle.
Burn so bright that the sun gets fried! Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
Burn my friend, burn,
Burn so bright that
the sun gets fried!
Shine my friend, shine,
Shine so bright that
Rudolf goes blind!
Smile my friend, smile,
Smile so pure that
flowers shy away.
Love my friend, love,
Love so drunk that
Rumi himself lays the way.
Fly my friend, fly,
Fly so fearless that
Tagore himself honors you.
Live my friend, live,
Live so unchained that
time makes gospel of you.
Burn so bright that
the sun gets fried!
Shine my friend, shine,
Shine so bright that
Rudolf goes blind!
Smile my friend, smile,
Smile so pure that
flowers shy away.
Love my friend, love,
Love so drunk that
Rumi himself lays the way.
Fly my friend, fly,
Fly so fearless that
Tagore himself honors you.
Live my friend, live,
Live so unchained that
time makes gospel of you.
Firefly Sonnet | Abhijit Naskar | Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations
Firefly, oh firefly,
why do you gleam so!
Who do you try to impress,
who is the object of your glow!
Oh, ye of little sight,
said the gentle little beacon!
Creatures with light eternal,
don’t shine to stir public opinion.
I gleam, ’cause that’s my life,
I know no other way of existence.
Puny apes gotta find an agenda,
for most are anemic of effulgence.
And you have the gall to call us bugs,
while your mind is stuck in gutter!
My fire bears proof of existence,
you carry yours as cheap souvenir.
(Note: as a biologist I must mention, this is a purely poetic piece, not to be analyzed with science, for evolutionarily speaking, glowworms use their glow to warn away predators, and attract mate.)

God is a Gypsy (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets
Kindness is my constitution,
selflessness is divine sanity.
To be human takes no scripture,
living gospel takes humanity.
Men of ritual, men of blind worship,
will never know the breath of life,
which in a way, is animal blessing,
to know life is to be restless with light.
To know light is to be restless,
to know life is to be breathless,
only those without life can sit still,
for blindness is boon to the savages.
The name is *Gitano – Abigitano;
accused of freedom by alien hunters.
War is legal, human trafficking is legal,
genocide is legal, child-bombing is legal,
and you call this civilized and religious!
