“World First, Nation Never
(Denationalizing Sonnet)

No government wants to manufacture terror,
But they do want to manufacture control.
In doing so they end up manufacturing terror,
Thus they end up manufacturing war.

There is no such thing as war on terrorism,
The whole narrative is rigged to peddle fear.
Citizens without fear are citizens without border,
Democratic autocracy thrives on civilian fear.

Ceasefire only postpones war,
What’s needed is demilitarization.
Till borderly apes wake apart national pride,
Democracy only sustains a paradigm of poison.

World first and forever, nation never;
Till then, all blood is on your hands.
Either you are a nation’s simian citizen,
or you are planet earth’s civilized human.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

“Ceasefire only postpones war,
What’s needed is demilitarization.

“Orphanizers (Demilitarization Sonnet, 1303)

Show me a nation with a huge defense budget,
I'll show you a demented nation.
Show me a nation with a big education budget,
I'll show you a nation of the future.

Disband the soldiers, empower the teachers,
Thus you plant the paradigm of peace.
Abolish all pride in nation's military,
Thus you emerge as maker of peace.

The real warmongers of the world are,
Not the world leaders, but the civilians,
Who can't think past the strength of military,
Who take pride in a genocidal arsenal of weapons.

With such civilian primitiveness rampant in society,
No conference can ensure the promise of peace.
If you really want to ensure peace on planet earth,
Denounce all politics and democracy militarist.

Stop taking pride in your national military,
That very pride floods the world with orphans.
Amidst the herd of widowmakers and orphanizers,
Wake up alone, and slogan for demilitarization!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

“Genocide is Patriotism
(Sonnet 1634)

National anthems count for nothing,
when the nations are full of monkeys,
monkeys who keep buying bloodshed,
in the name of national security.

Genocide is patriotism, thus teaches
the textbook of defense and diplomacy.
What else do you expect from legal texts,
concocted by a bunch of stoneage monkeys!

Monkey kill, monkey laugh -
Monkeys are honored with medal!
Airforce, army, navy - so many ways
to maintain status quo of the jungle!

The purpose of every national anthem is to
enforce and maintain a status quo of war.
Show me a human without national pride,
I'll show you the pathway out of war.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yüz Şiirlerin Yüzüğü (Ring of 100 Poems, Bilingual Edition): 100 Turkish Poems with Translations

“World War Peace (The Sonnet)

The same paradigm that produces
soldiers, produces terrorists.
In fact, soldiers are just
government approved terrorists.

Till the military is the most
dishonorable profession on earth,
you can forget about world peace,
forget about peaceful coexistence.

Military are the real terrorists,
regular terrorists are the byproducts,
all manufactured by state leaders,
sponsored by jungle civilians.

Love of country is the root of all war,
Every patriot is a potential terrorist.
Learn to love the world as one country,
The paradigm will shift from war to peace.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Diagnosis: Patriotism
(The Sonnet)

You know what distinguishes
a reformist from a terrorist!
The capacity to destroy the world,
yet choosing not to.

The capacity to press the button,
yet choosing not to.
The capacity to pull the trigger,
yet choosing not to.

The capacity to oblige the state,
but choosing humanity instead.
The capacity to be patriotic,
yet choosing to be human instead.

War is the symptom,
patriotism is the disease.
Terrorists harbor patriotism,
Reformists harbor peace.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Armistice Sonnet

Ceasefire is a diplomatic gimmick,
They cease only to hit back harder.
Demilitarization is what we need,
We got no use for one more ceasefire.

Ceasefire only postpones war,
disarmament instills peace.
Armistice empowers armament,
demilitarization plants peace.

Tyrants don't call truce to allow aid,
but only to rearm themselves,
so they can call in more ammunition,
from their apely imperialist friends.

One more ceasefire we could do without,
World is wailing for the final ceasefire.
Disown every statesman who prides military,
Builders of military are merchants of murder.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Ceasefire only postpones war,
disarmament instills peace.
Armistice empowers armament,
demilitarization plants peace.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Peace, A Crime Against State
(The Sonnet)

There's no difference between
a soldier and a contract killer.
Hitmen are paid to kill individuals,
Soldiers are paid to kill in bulk.

Righteous soldiers don't exist,
they only exist in fairytale movies.
No academy trains youngsters for peace,
they manufacture state-abiding terrorists.

If any soldier ever wakes up to peace,
they're instantly discharged without honor.
Thinking soldiers are no use to state,
States only want brainless suicide bombers.

Enemy of war is enemy of the state,
Making of peace is crime against state.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Peace is a crime against state.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Soldiers are just government approved terrorists.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Planet of Apes
(Real Peace Sonnet)

Stronger the military,
stupider the citizens.
Louder the ammunition,
lousier the education.

Mightier the missiles,
measlier the minds.
Sharper the snipers,
sicklier the spines.

Fuller the magazines,
feebler the veins.
Bolder the bombs,
wobblier the brains.

More titanic the tanks,
more pathetic the primates.
World in trance of arms,
is a planet of the apes.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Lowest form of animal is the human with a gun.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Little Planet on The Prairie: Dunya Benim, Sorumluluk Benim
