“Colonizer of A Different Kind
(The Sonnet)

Only the shape of colonialism
has changed, not the nature.
Tendencies are just as filthy,
rightful heir to animal disaster.

I too am a colonizer,
but of a different kind.
I colonize no home by force,
with words I colonize minds.

Humanitarianism is civilized colonialism -
simpler still, humanitarianism is civilization.
That's the contagion my literature carries,
through my proses and sonnetic revelation.

First thousand were an accident,
Second thousand, a promise.
Answer to traditional animosity,
Antidote to doting prejudice.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Little Planet on The Prairie: Dunya Benim, Sorumluluk Benim

“Sonnets are my vessel of reason,
Sonnets are my bearer of justice.
Sonnets are my medium of divinity,
I'm my sonnets - antidote to malice.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“When I finished my first 1000 sonnets,
I felt, now I shall take it slow.
But now at the finishing of second 1000,
I feel, I gotta write thousands more!

Sonnets are my vessel of reason,
Sonnets are my bearer of justice.
Sonnets are my medium of divinity,
I'm my sonnets - antidote to malice.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Sonnets to write before I sleep.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Proof of poetry is in the spirit,
Proof of justice is among the just.
Worlds to unite before I sleep,
Proof of life is in standing guard.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Proof of poetry is in the spirit.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Dropout computer engineer to monk, monk to poet scientist, that's my journey.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“My life is a pilgrimage of truth, by way of love.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Dropout computer engineer to monk,
monk to poet scientist, that's my journey.
My existence is testament to assimilation,
proof of the wonders beyond exclusivity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Sonnets to write before I sleep,
Sciences to humanize before I sleep.
Holiness to naturalize before I sleep,
Rights to initiate before I sleep.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Whatever I speak is science,
Whatever I pen is poetry.
Whatever I think is philosophy,
Whatever I sense is psychology.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Buddha: The First Sapiens

“New Year's Eve is the occasion
to take stock of your origin,
so that in the reign of new dawn,
you don't forget where you come from.

I too have evolved plenty, from a
dropout engineer to monk to scientist.
But I didn't stop at scientist, and
evolved further into poet dervish.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

“Poetry, my nationality,
words, my brethren.
To the world I'm monsoon,
for inside I'm barren.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
