Energy and Ethics (The Sonnet) | The Gentalist
One AA battery lights up a house with an LED,
Or it can be used to set fire to it with a spark.
Energy has no ethical polarity, only potential,
Ethics of energy lie in the hands of its wielder.
Society just needs an excuse to escape the blame,
Sometimes they blame science, other times politics.
The real problem is none but the society itself,
Particularly our age-old selfish histrionics.
No society is born human, not yet anyway,
It falls on the original humans to make it human.
Choose science, faith, politics or civil service,
Touch of a human makes medicine even out of poison.
Science doesn't define the scientist, scientist defines the science.
Hence I'm a servant scientist who uses science for deliverance.

Don’t Have to Agree, to Love (Sonnet 1347) | Abhijit Naskar | Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
You don’t have to agree with a person
completely, to love them – accept them.
There are a few, I disagree with plenty,
yet till death, I’ll fight for them.
Not all that Rumi wrote apply today,
yet I love Mevlana like my own brother.
Even more of Aquinas are out of date,
yet like a friend I love my Thomas.
Heart doesn’t care about consensus of the brain,
Heart only cares for an inexplicable closeness.
Intellect has no bearing over heart’s closeness,
Often intellect is a barrier to life’s wholeness.
Intellect is boon, but only when it helps wholeness.
Being right is not necessarily the mark of goodness.

Joy of Conscience (The Sonnet) / Radość Sumienia (Sonet – Polish) | Abhijit Naskar | Abigitano: El Divino Refugiado (First Drop, 2nd Book of Hispanic Poetry)
“Joy of Conscience (The Sonnet)
Consciousness brings joy,
Consciousness brings relief.
It's a different kind of joy,
sanctified by bouts of grievance.
Consciousness causes content,
unsurpassed by material excitement.
Only through conscientious moderation,
shall we overcome shallow disturbance.
Materials are needed for sustenance,
beyond that point it becomes poison.
Cluttering the mind with toxic waste,
it separates the human from human.
Consciousness brings joy,
untainted by shallow glee.
Surrounded by compromised ritual,
consciousness alone can set us free.”
“Radość Sumienia (Sonet)
I'm happy,
I'm happy.
Moje życie nie jest moje,
Służba jest zbawiieniem.
Służba is zbawieniem,
Radość tkwi w byciu razem.
Pomaganie to ludzkość,
Egoizm is przekleństwem.
Moją walkedą jedność,
Moje Światło jest niepodzielne.
Most of the time it is integrated, it is
important to know that it is not possible.
When the problem arises,
it may be degraded.”

Better Kind than Right | Abhijit Naskar | World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets
Better kind than correct,
Better idiot than arrogant.
Better ignorant than bigoted,
Better exploited than indifferent.
Better broke than bent,
Better naive than narcissist.
Better mistaken than mindless,
Better broken than a cheat.
Better wrong than cruel,
Better ridiculed than rigid.
Better shattered than shallow,
Better ignited than idjit.
