“Illumination Manifest
(Youth Sonnet, 1528)

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

Don't confuse youth as a measure
of agist conventionality.
Youth is but a sanctifying dawn,
out of the dusk of rigidity.

Youth is the spirit of play
with the forces of ominosity.
Youth is the conquest of death
into the daring pastures of duty.

Youth are absolution to habits of death.
Youth are walking illumination manifest.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

Sen benim kardeşimsin,
bunu asla unutma.”

“Black, white, brown or martian - at the end of the day, you'll find good and evil in every corner of the world. You'll find apes peddling segregation in the name of preserving heritage and purity, in every corner of the world, just like you'll find humans standing up for love and oneness, in every corner of the world.
