Reformist Poet Quotes

“Reformer Needed (The Sonnet)

To put the politicians straight,
What's needed is a reformer.
To put the soldiers straight,
What's needed is a reformer.
To put the scientists straight,
What's needed is a reformer.
To put the philosophers straight,
What's needed is a reformer.
To put the entrepreneurs straight,
What's needed is a reformer.
To put the preachers straight,
What's needed is a reformer.
And how does the reformer remain straight,
By looking beyond the beliefs of binary lanes.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Misafir Merhaba: The Peace Testament

“Martyr for Humanity (The Sonnet)

I am not a writer, I am an anomaly,
For writers run empty after a few works.
I lost count of mine a long time ago,
Yet I keep imploding with no sign of cork.
My brain keeps making appointments,
That my body can't keep without crashing.
I am not finished with one work,
And lo, another one starts pouring!
Someone, please calm my brain!
The torture grows excruciating by the minute!
Any day now hopefully an artery will blow,
Then I shall finally have my eternal rest.
Once I am gone, don't go making a cult out of me.
I shall be alive, so long as there is one human
standing ready to be martyred for humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Misafir Merhaba: The Peace Testament
