World War Human Quotes

“It's a funny world we live in,

When we are young, we pretend to be old.
When we are old, we pretend to be young.
When we are home, we want to see the world.
When on the road, we want to get home.

We are never happy at the moment,
we like to admire the idea of happiness.
We like to worship it from afar,
real happiness is fraught with troubles.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Every animal knows self-love, only the human knows selfless love.”

“National Reserve (The Sonnet)

Every nation has its Netanyahu,
Somewhere they're called Trump,
Somewhere they are Recep Erdoğan,
Somewhere they are Meloni or Modi,
Somewhere they're called Imran Khan.

Thus Christ becomes a vessel of hate,
Koran is used to peddle division.
Saffron substitutes the color of blood,
Discrimination becomes the new tradition.

Somewhere they cut Islam from curriculum,
Somewhere they convert museum into mosque,
Somewhere they erase black history - it's all
part-n-parcel of the same nationalist muck.

Rip the mask of a nationalist patriot,
You'll find dormant a homicidal maniac.
Nationalism has no religion or ethnicity,
Only appearance changes, not the nut.

Beware of these nutjobs of nationalism,
selling you the jungle wrapped in tradition!
If you don't vote them off their throne asap,
they'll turn a free nation into reservation.”

“Planet Palestine (Sonnet 1503)

Whole world is my promised land,
Which part will you invade!
When the entire planet is Palestine,
It is Israel that will fade.

Gone are the days of unchallenged tyranny,
Gone are the days of exploiting native trust.
In the past you got away with many Rushmores;
Try it today, you'll end up another Liz Truss.

You can have your puny guns and bombs,
I have an arsenal far mightier than thee.
Colonial apes may fund your homicidalism,
I have the entire humankind backing me.

When governments are on one side,
and humankind on the other,
that's the first sign of democracy,
and curtain call for the occupier.

We the people promise our planet to Palestine.
What'll you do now - call us all anti-semite!”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Whole world is my promised land,
Which part will you invade!

“World Poachers (Sonnet 1502)

The western alliance didn't fight Hitler
because he tortured the Jewish people,
they fought him because he was't gonna
show anyone any special consideration.

Jews were never the focus of World War 2,
It was about the invaders being invaded.
Lo and behold, Nazis are the villain,
though England, Belgium, France, Spain
and Portugal caused far worse damage!

If you feel one way about Hitler,
and another way about Churchill,
your opinion is of no consequence,
living on a whitewashed dunghill.

Rushmore is a monument of massacre,
Buckingham is a palace of plunderers.
Till you denounce all atrocious heritage,
You're just animal heir to world poachers.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“There are bigger villains than Adolf, but they are not deemed villain so long as they do white man no harm.”

“While I was starting out I had no idea on how the world of writing and publishing worked. I had no mentor, no guide, no support of any kind whatsoever. I had to learn everything on my own, through trial and error. And the most important point here to note is that, at that point I was completely unaware of my own gift - I had no inkling. Naturally, in those early days I often borrowed ideas from other scientists and philosophers.

However, quite unexpectedly, once my true voice and tone started to awaken, I slowly started cutting ties with all external authority, except, of course, for occasional requirements of specific empirical data. Heck, this self-made and self-sustained legend was so damn proud of his inexhaustible vastness, that he wouldn't even quote his own old works in new ones, let alone others! Every new work must be unapologetically new - or I'd rather not publish at all. That's what conscience does to you - it takes away the slightest inclination of compromise, and turns you into an incorruptible beacon of pure conviction.”

“Silicon and Sapiens (The Sonnet)

Once upon a time,
I put down my soldering iron
and picked up the keyboard,
for I couldn't afford to sustain
my passion for electronics any more.

But now that I look back,
It was for the best.
The world has plenty tech genius,
what it lacks is reformer scientist.

My inside awareness of machine intricacies
has been an aid to my neuroscience.
In a world torn between mind and machine,
I bridge the shores of silicon and sapiens.

Biologists often diss the potential of machine,
just like gadgeteers are oblivious to life.
Life is a cosmic miracle, machines are a human one,
and with added purpose, machines could be
the mightiest defense of life.”

“Life Love Liberty, Sonnet 1548
(Hayat Habib Huriyat)

My divinity is not rooted
in god or scripture,
my divinity is rooted
in human welfare.

My science is not rooted
in cold logic venture,
my science is rooted
in human welfare.

My philosophy is not rooted
in intellectual gymnastics,
my philosophy is rooted
in uprooting prejudice.

My Life is rooted in Love and Liberty.
Hayat Habib Huriyat, that's my identity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Ideas Surpass Gold
(Sonnet 1530)

Most of my boldest ideas are
available online without paywall.
Which means, you don't need to pay,
to integrate my ideas into your life.

Since I don't have an industry behind,
it does help when you make a purchase.
But I never ask no one to buy my books,
I'd rather starve than monetize oneness.

Soon this body will surpass corporeal chains,
monetary demands of living will collapse a lie.
I mustn't stain my sacred life craving coins,
Ideas must surpass gold to surpass time.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Aslan ol ulan - Aslan ol!

“Pequeno Planeta na Pradaria
(Hino da Nova Terra)

A Nova Terra é uma arte de amor,
não uma mancha de ignorância odiosa.
A Nova Terra é uma terra de promessas,
não de ganância e indiferença.

A Nova Terra é uma tela em branco,
temos que decidir o que pintaremos -
uma obra-prima de um amanhecer inclusivo,
ou uma lembrança sangrenta de dias simiescos.

A Nova Terra é uma Terra melhor,
não temos mais sede de sangue.
Lutamos juntos sem divisão, para
sermos um farol gentil como amante.

Hijab, hábito, turbante, todos são iguais,
É intolerância que é inaceitável.
Em nossa Nova Terra o caráter é supremo,
as tradições primitivas são dispensáveis.

A existência aqui é uma arte de amor,
em nosso planeta na pradaria cósmica.
A Nova Terra é uma celebração da vida,
não uma validação de uma rigidez ruinosa.”

“Chiquita Planeta en la Pradera
(Himno de la Nueva Tierra)

La Nueva Tierra es un arte de amor,
no una mancha de odiosa ignorancia.
La Nueva Tierra es una tierra prometedora,
no de avaricia e indiferencia.

Nueva Tierra es un lienzo en blanco,
tenemos que decidir qué pintaremos -
obra maestra de un amanecer inclusivo,
o un recordatorio sangriento
de los días de los simios.

La Nueva Tierra es una Tierra mejor,
ya no tenemos sed de sangre.
Luchamos juntos sin dividirnos,
para ser una chispa divina de amor amable.

Hijab, hábito, turbante, todos son iguales,
Es intolerancia lo que es inaceptable.
En nuestra Nueva Tierra el carácter es supremo,
las tradiciones primitivas son prescindibles.

La existencia aquí es un arte del amor,
en nuestro planeta en la pradera cósmica.
La Nueva Tierra es una celebración de la vida,
no una validación de una rigidez ruinosa.”

Youth are walking

for all dividing insanity.
You are the antidote
to all bewitching animosity.

with the forces of ominosity.
Youth is but a sanctifying dawn,
out of the dusk of rigidity.

Youth are absolution
to habits of death.
Youth are walking
illumination manifest.”
