Abhijit Naskar
“There is no creation without a broken atom, there is no civilization without a broken human.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

Abhijit Naskar
“Humanitarian Nuclear Physics (The Sonnet)

One nuclear warhead contains 9 lbs of plutonium,
Which can electrify 2000 households for a year.
Yet you use that majestic power of atom as pawn,
In your stoneage geopolitical games of fear.

When monkeys crack the mystery of the atom,
Without developing any civilized purpose,
They go blind with the madness of power,
Atom bombs become newage arrows and spears.

Hypnotized by the mindless pursuit of "could",
Apes rarely ever stop to question if they should!
What good is such science without conscience,
What good is a scientist without a vision for good!

Either atom bombs will be obsolete as bow and arrow,
Or humankind will go extinct like dinosaurs tomorrow.”
Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth
