“Naskargen (Sonnet 3000)

It all started with a promise -
Liberty is my religion, Humans are my God;
what took to paper as a penniless dream,
ignited the planet with culture of integration.

Journey of civilization begins with
one person rejecting an outdated tradition,
evolution of apes to human begins with
one person disposing of their flag in a museum.

Divinity of the past was based in sky-fiction,
divinity of the present must be rooted in life;
science of the robots revolves around metal,
science of the humans must center around mind.

Faith fixated on no prophecy, no propaganda,
I entrust my promise upon you,
my promise, my rebellion, my madness -
if there is not a single Naskar in sight,
be the Naskar of your generation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“Jashn-e Inquilab, Sonnet 2600
(Revolution Festivities)

When there is order, but no justice,
when there is faith, but no goodness,
when there is brain, but no benevolence,
when there is custom, but no consciousness -

when machines behave like people,
but people behave like vegetable,
when governments shelter more
lunatics than lunatic asylums -

when ICE age looms early,
terrorizing life and liberty,
when disparity is packaged as prosperity,
and cowardice is the standard of society -

let the festivities of revolution commence,
breaking the fast of convenient apathy -
I am the Imperishable Force of Oneness,
I am Iftar, I am Noel, I am Jashn-e Justice.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“The Religion Engine (Sonnet 2597)

Go to any church, any mosque,
any temple, and one thing
you're sure to find is,
not God, but people.

And that has always been
the real point of religion,
people recharging people,
people resurrecting people,
people consoling people,
people sheltering people -

because at the center of religion,
there is not God, but people.

The battery of religion is people,
the engine of religion is people,
the path of religion is people,
the destination of religion is people.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“The Earthistana Anthem
(Sonnet 2570-2574)

I was born without lineage,
without a holy claim -
no prophet in my pocket,
no empire to my name.

But I rose from the ruins
of the borders they drew,
and I learned from the ashes
what a human can do.

The world was carved with lies,
with flags of hate and fear -
but the pulse of integration
kept pulling me near.

So I wrote my own scripture
with the ink of equality -
no one is a stranger,
one people are we.

Raise your heart like a banner,
tear the hatred apart -
every life is revolution,
every breath is an art.

Pilgrims of the heart,
children of no throne -
the world is our home,
the duty is my own.

No God above the human,
no border in the mind -
tolerance is our anthem,
we are the humankind.

I've seen temples feed on fear,
graves labeled as pride -
I've seen nations crowned
with glory, yet cruelty inside.

But I've also seen a stranger
share their only bread,
and in that tiny gesture,
every scripture was said.

We are the dawn that we seek,
let the dread of dark retire -
we are the rebels of empathy,
our ammunition nerve fiber.

Let the world's wounded pages
be rewritten by you -
with the ink of courage,
with the rainbow of truth.

Let us lift the fallen,
heal the fractures of fate -
every act of kindness,
makes tyranny evaporate.

From monastery bells
to the muezzin's call,
from the wailing walls
to the city hall,

when our voices combine,
the soil becomes sacred -
the only holy nation
is the one without hatred.

Pilgrim of the heart,
oneness in our vein -
love is the revolution,
Human is the name.

Shortcircuit the convention,
surpass all claim to fame -
let us enhance, not reduce each other,
so the world becomes humane.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
