“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 63

What are we without principles,
Nothing but a bag of animal flesh.
What are we without reason,
Nothing but tradition's infectious abscess.
What are we without warmth,
Nothing but insects chasing self-centricity.
What are we without collectivity,
Nothing but mechanics of monstrosity.
What are we without humility,
Nothing but a bunch of smart nimrods.
What are we without moderation,
Nothing but poisonous arthropods.
Higher the sentience, greater the responsibility,
A mind oblivious to this, is oblivious to humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Giants in Jeans: 100 Sonnets of United Earth

“Apathy, vanity, self-centricity - these are the curse of our society.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“I Am Idiot (The Sonnet)

I am not as stupid as you think,
I am far more stupid than that.
My stupidity is beyond the grasp of,
All puny dreams of heaven and earth.
You have no idea how stupid I am,
To have an idea is to join the club.
What do the calculating snobs know,
Of the logic-defying madness of love!
The opposite of stupidity is narcissism,
I am the stupid beyond all such stupidity.
Where animals sell selfishness as sanity,
I am drunk, I am dumb, I am but humanity.
Better be a human and considered an idiot,
Than be a moron and worshipped as sage.”
