“Sapient or Savage (The Sonnet)

To be or not to be,
That is not the question.
To be human or stay animal,
That is the question.
Human and animal,
What is the difference!
To be animal is to be selfish,
To be human is to go beyond the self.
There's more to life than us and them,
There's more to life than loss and gain.
There's more to life than money and fame,
There's more to life than dogmatic lanes.
To be or not to be, that is not the question.
Be sapient or stay savage, it's your decision.”

“People Vs Supreme Court (The Sonnet)

When the Supreme Court behaves prehistoric,
Every human must become an activist.
When the gatekeepers of law behave barbarian,
Every civilian must come down to the street.
When people are stripped off their basic rights,
By some bigoted and shortsighted gargoyles.
We the people must take back the reins,
And put the politicians in their rightful place.
We need no guns and grenades, we need no ammo,
Unarmed and unbent we stand against savagery.
Till every woman obtains their right to choice,
None of us will sit quiet in compliant apathy.
Every time the cradle of justice becomes criminal,
It falls upon us civilians to be justice incorruptible.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“Life is Chaos (The Sonnet)

Best laid plans of mice and men,
Often go awry leaving no hope.
Just when you think you have control,
Life throws you off course.
All notions of order are a myth,
Only order of the universe is chaos.
Expand your sight and you'll realize,
There is order in every chaos.
A narrow mind is ever struggling,
In the tangled web of order and chaos.
A sapient mind works above the two,
For their sight is fixed on a purpose.
Focus on life, not on all its philosophy.
Embrace the chaos and act despite insecurity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability
