Masterclass for Humans (The Sonnet) | Vande Vasudhaivam
Only the Native Americans are real Americans,
Everybody else is an immigrant.
Before you tell someone to go back to their country,
Start by heading back to Britain yourself.
Only Indigenous people are real Canadians, Kiwis,
and Aussies, everybody else is an immigrant.
Before you yell slurs at an immigrant of today,
Start by heading back to Europe yourself.
Turkey was transformed by one man,
Upon the foundation of thoughts most rational.
Before you bring back the days of fanaticism,
Start by taking down the statues of Mustafa Kemal.
India never had any organized religion,
Brahmin barbarians peddled a myth to have control.
Before you cremate a secular beacon into safron ashes,
Wipe out all memories of Kabir, Ambedkar and Tagore.
From discrimination to assimilation,
That’s how we walk the course of progress.
Till every trace of intolerance is history,
Keep on struggling against mindlessness.

4th of July Declaration | Tum Dunya Tek Millet
In one of my early works I once wrote, “America is a great country, built by great people”. And it took me some time to look through the fallacy of this statement. I could still justify it by saying, it depends on the context – which would be technically true. But my dignity, my conscience, my morality – everything that is civilized in me, has been eating me alive for some time now over this one statement. Because if we throw away all technicality and look from a simple, everyday human perspective – nothing about the the birth of America is great – America is a terrorist nation, built by terrorists who invaded other people’s land, stripped them of their homes, and built a spin-off of the ruthless British empire over their blood and bones. You think America’s homeless problem is something new! It’s not – America has been making people homeless ever since the pilgrims set foot in Plymouth Rock. The pilgrims were not pioneers, they were terrorists.
99 percent of the world’s warzones are the legacy of white, western imperialism. Until you get your head around this simple fact, your views, your opinion, your advocacy, all are worthless to the peace struggles of these “westsploited” nations.
In the modern age no other country has wrecked more nations than America. Like father, like son – first it was England, then it’s its rebellious runaway child America. That’s why China is such an enemy in the westwashed narrative of the world – because when one nation has somewhat maintained an autocratic control over the planet since the 1800s (under the banner of “Manifest Destiny”), it would never want that control be undermined by another budding power – particularly when that power is far superior in infrastructure. Sure, the state of China tries to influence every move of its people, that’s the first unwritten rule in the handbook of “democracy” – but Uncle Sam has been manipulating the moves of every single state for over two hundred years. Now tell me, which state should you be more cautious of?
No country is free from human rights violation, but America’s share in global transgressions is right at the very top. America is the top exporter of humanitarian crisis in the world, and as such, US is the least qualified nation to be the moral guardian on anything.
It doesn’t matter whether you are white, colored or martian – denial never solves nothing. To treat a disease we must first acknowledge the disease. And what is the disease? Is it white people – is it whiteness? No – whiteness is not the disease, but white imperialism is. And how do you treat this disease? You gotta strip yourself of all the privileges of skin, and make yourself one with the world – you gotta denounce the privilege of your whiteness and embrace the responsibility of your humanness. Only then, shall there be peace in the world – only then, shall there be integration – only then, shall there be a civilized world to begin with.

My Earth, Your Earth (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | The Divine Refugee
My America fosters the
spirit of self-correction,
Your America lies in the
continuation of exploitation.
My England lives in a willful
drive for making amends,
Your England lies in deliberate
denial of historic mess.
My Australia battles to
assimilate those once wronged,
Your Australia boasts proudly
atrocious plunders as tradition.
My India is the most radiant
beacon of multiculturalism,
Your India is a septic tank
of prehistoric nationalism.
I wish I could tell you, you and I
are the same, but we are not.
My earth is a celebration of people,
Your earth is chained to dead customs.

Blood and Blunder (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | The Divine Refugee
The world is filled with atrocious holidays,
Columbus Day, Australia Day and Thanksgiving.
Holidays steeped in blood and blunder, are
passed on proudly as occasion of merrymaking.
Imagine celebrating 9/11 as a day of freedom,
Yet colonizers do exactly that without shame.
And these animal holidays are a thousand times
more atrocious than the crash of nine eleven.
Nine eleven is a ghastly stain upon history,
there is no doubt or question about that.
But what about the infinitely larger stains,
inflicted, respected and celebrated by cowards!
Human rights can never prevail till we
dismantle every false celebration.
Animals find honor in blood and blunder,
We become human through course correction.

The First Crime Against Humanity | Abhijit Naskar | Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations
9/11 destroyed two bustling buildings,
Mayflower destroyed a living continent.
You cannot conceive a nation in liberty
by wiping out a living civilization.
Crime against first nations is
the first crime against humanity.
Mayflower destroyed a living continent.
You cannot conceive a nation in liberty
by wiping out a living civilization.
Crime against first nations is

Terrorists and Thieves (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
Terrorists who manifested their destiny
on stolen land, are banning immigrants!
Thieves who built their AI empire, not
on public domain data, but on stolen
copyrighted material, are upset with
other thieves stealing from them!
More than the inhumanity it is
the hypocrisy that is so astounding.
I say astounding, but not really,
it’s just pathetic and disappointing.
It’s happening all over again,
colonizers are spreading their tentacles,
all the while being idolized as icons,
instead of being held accountable for
their ritualistic human rights violations.
Parasites live off the labor of humans,
and monkeys worship them as kings.
This is neither innovation nor civilization,
this is the jungle kingdom rebooting.
