Ripped Jeans & Twenty Dollar Shirt (The Sonnet) | Making Britain Civilized
Ripped jeans and twenty dollar shirt,
That’s how we’ll change the world.
It is okay if your outside is dirty,
Make sure your heart is without dirt.
Too many people wear suits and boots,
In order to cover up the filth within.
Those who have their character intact,
Care not whether their clothes are shinin’.
The world needs purpose, integrity, honor,
None of which is predicated on clothes.
Those who think clothes make the person,
Will never discover any of the civilized roads.
Heart makes the person, heart makes the world.
A world without dirt comes from a heart without dirt.

Selfless Nuts (The Sonnet) | Either Reformist or Terrorist
If someone wants to do harm they’ll do harm,
Whether they have nukes or sticks and stone.
If someone wants to do good they’ll do good,
Whether they have a billion dollars or just one.
Intention is the mother of all good deeds ‘n bad,
It has got nothing to do with having resources.
With intention one bread can feed ten people,
It cannot feed even one when there is no intent.
A world that is run by greed stops for nobody,
Who cares what such a world thinks as righteous!
In such a world you gotta throw caution to the wind,
And stand as pillar of service among the retards.
Long enough snobbish retards have ruled the world!
Now it is time for selfless nuts to take charge.
Whether they have nukes or sticks and stone.

Sonnet of Consumerism | Giants in Jeans
Ever wonder in a world of consumerism,
Who’s the consumer, who’s the product!
You may think that you are the one owning things,
But it’s the things that own you, head and heart.
When unmoderated materialism is the world’s norm,
Consumer is the product, product does the consuming.
And this insanity is revered as industrial growth,
Then they wonder, why is there so much suffering!
The point is, your insecurity is good for business,
The shallower you are, the more your pocket empties.
But if you don’t wanna end up at la casa de loco,
Stop living in products and focus on memories.
Corporations chasing revenue cause economic disparity.
Buy less, buy local, to construct a sustainable economy.
Who’s the consumer, who’s the product!
You may think that you are the one owning things,
But it’s the things that own you, head and heart.

Take Off Your Clothes | Abhijit Naskar | Visvavictor
Take off your clothes and post a selfie,
A million animals will shower you attention.
But cover up all and open your heart,
Only precious few humans will care to listen.
Don’t confuse attention with care,
Those who care might not follow you.
But you can be sure of one little thing,
99% of your followers don’t care about you.

One Way to Render Government Obsolete | Abhijit Naskar | Yaralardan Yangın Doğar
I own just two 5 dollar tshirts – one is my regular wear, another my backup for washdays. And for my travels I own two 10 dollar shirts and two 20 dollar jeans, which are also used for my book covers. I don’t need more, I don’t buy more. This is not minimalism, it’s called self-regulation – the lack of which has led to the shallow, judgmental, privilege-craving prick of a society we live in today. It’s not about saving money, it’s about humanizing money, by using it wisely, not just for individual benefit, but collective benefit.
Buy the things you need the most, save a little for rainy days, and use the rest to lift up the fallen. Any citizen who masters this simple humanitarian habit, is no longer obligated to pay taxes to the government. And when enough citizens of the world make it the mantra of their life, not just to lift themselves, but each other, the governments of the world are automatically rendered obsolete.
Government is funded by the people – then the governments use those funds to manufacture war, in order to further sustain the democratic cashflow that keeps them in business. Therefore, when people pull their funds and redirect them themselves, towards actual, tangible, humanitarian initiatives, there isn’t going to be a government. It’s only the humanitarian indifference of the citizens that keeps governments alive, that in turn keep borders and wars alive. Once the citizens are actually, genuinely, nontheoretically accountable of the welfare of society, beyond the prehistoric paradigm peddled by the state, all Capitol, Kremlin and White Hall will crumble to dust.

Death comes but once, life comes every day | Abhijit Naskar | Yaralardan Yangın Doğar
Live by body,
Die by body.
Live by mind,
Never die.
Death comes but once,
Life comes every day.
Now tell me what’s braver,
Spirit of life or fear of death!
There is no afterlife,
because there is no after,
there is only life now.
To live life conquering fear,
is the ultimate divine vow.
