“Don’t need reason to be kind.”
― Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth
― Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth
“Naskar it! (Sonnet 2855-2857)
At birth they tag you with a flag,
a script to follow, a tribe to brag -
tell you to fit in, don't ask too much,
keep your fire, but never touch.
Unfurl your fiber, and refuse the script,
don't make pilgrimage out of jungle myths.
Break the narrative, you break the spell -
end of nationalism is end of the animal.
If the world's on autopilot, interrupt it!
If the truth feels dangerous, then conduct it!
If compassion seems radical, then ignite it!
When justice calls your name, answer it!
Don't just think it, Naskar it!
Don't believe it, Naskar it!
Question everything they permit,
if it's not human, don't submit!
Abolish the silence, and Naskar it!
Stand your ground, and Naskar it!
Love your neighbor before your leader -
don't just talk it, Naskar it!
No book on earth can claim your mind,
no single truth defines humankind -
no crown, no creed, no sacred shrine
outweighs a heart that dares to shine.
Take your doubts and carve the key,
unlock the cage of them and we.
You're more than cattle and veggie,
you are Your own Holiness and Majesty!
Don't assume it, Naskar it!
Don't preach it, Naskar it!
Every truth they counterfeit,
confront it, expose it, Naskar it!
Shoulder the world, and Naskar it!
Walk the oneness, and Naskar it!
Human first, that's all there is -
no exception, go Naskar it!
Every wall they built on prejudice,
tear it down, and dance on it!
It's not a noun, it's a verb -
it's what you do, now Naskar it!”
