Village Vesuvius (The Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets


Be a think tank of life,
not a septic tank of prejudice.
Stand messenger, stand human,
not a brainless host to malice.

The book of truth is not a book of answers,
the book of truth is a book of questions.
The book of life is not a book of laws,
the book of life is a book of conscience.

Whenever, wherever, fanaticism weaponizes fear,
human hearts gotta rise, abandoning tranquility.
Whenever chowderheads infringe on love and reason,
time be my testament – My World, My Responsibility!

Pillar of heavens I stand, composed as the Himalayas.
Persecute any community, and I am the Village Vesuvius.

Prototype Human (Sonnet 2249) – Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

The pen is my paradise,
the pen is my grave.
Everybody has all the answers,
I seem to have only questions.

Good thing, I don’t know how to write,
methods are obstacle to my madness.
I’m vast enough to contain the world,
asylum pills don’t work on pilgrim brains.

My pen never runs out of ink, because
the pen is an extension of my anatomy.
Madness is the first sign of sanity,
oneness is the seed of infinity.

Stereotypes are sanity of the jungle,
prejudice is sacred in the animal kingdom.
Flags are the poison, cosmos is (my) kin –
I am no stereotype, I am the Prototype Human.
