“Post-apocalyptic world will never unfold like in the movies, the post-apocalyptic world already exists, may be not for you, as you're born on the lucky side of privilege - but that world of drought, flood, famine, plague and persecution already exists - ten steps from the door of the privileged.”

“Rx for Fascism (Sonnet)
Gaza is not for sale,
Greenland is not for sale,
Ukraine is not for sale,
Canada is not for sale.
Planet Earth is not real estate,
to pander to your predatory psychopathy.
If you are so hard up for cash, we can all
chip in to buy you some good ol shock therapy.
When someone plays fast and loose with rights
and freedom, their place is either in the jungle
or in a mental institution, not in office.
Fascism, fundamentalism and nationalism,
these are the ultimate mental illness.”

“If A Tree Falls (Sonnet)
If a tree falls in the forest, but
nobody hears it, did it really fall!
If children are bombed to death,
but it's omitted from the news,
did the children really die!
If people are massacred by law,
but it's not on Netflix,
is it really a genocide!
If democracy is dismantled piece by piece,
but by government decree,
is it really illegal!
If the world is burnt to cinders,
but the privileged castles stay intact,
is the world really burning!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience
