“World Peace

There’s a place in all hearts
where sunshine meets the day
hatred isn’t part of you
but you follow anyway.

Lay down your arms
hug your fellow man
God has said “we’re brothers”
in your heart you understand.

Trembling hearts of anger
crushes your very soul
part of you wants to walk away
you just don’t want no more.

World Peace waits for us all
like the thousand star above
open arms, and a breath away
so much easier to Love.”
― Ron Baratono

“World Peace

There’s a place in all hearts
where sunshine meets the day
yearning for a world of peace,
peace that’s here to stay.

Let’s lay down all arms
hug our fellow man
God has said “we’re brothers”
open hearts will understand.

Trembling hearts of anger
can crush the very soul
walking quietly into the sunset
we just don’t want no more.

World Peace waits for us all
like the thousand stars above
open arms, and a breath away,
so much easier to Love.”

“Genocide is Patriotism
(Sonnet 1634)

National anthems count for nothing,
when the nations are full of monkeys,
monkeys who keep buying bloodshed,
in the name of national security.

Genocide is patriotism, thus teaches
the textbook of defense and diplomacy.
What else do you expect from legal texts,
concocted by a bunch of stoneage monkeys!

Monkey kill, monkey laugh -
Monkeys are honored with medal!
Airforce, army, navy - so many ways
to maintain status quo of the jungle!

The purpose of every national anthem is to
enforce and maintain a status quo of war.
Show me a human without national pride,
I'll show you the pathway out of war.”

“Society may talk about love, but it prepares for hate. Society only talks about love, but it is very cunning and hypocritical. Society is full of hatred.
Love is a rebellion against these stupid, cunning and unconscious structures. This whole structure of the state, the establishment, the status quo, the politicians, the church, the priests, the vested interests and the media is simply stupid, but because it has existed for thousands of years we take it for granted. We think it is the only possibility.
This structure has made humanity live on a survival level. It has made humanity live on a very low level of consciousness. Even if we have become accustomed to it, it is not the only possibility.
Man can live in a totally new way, without wars, hatred, conflicts, violence, without killing each other and without murder. There is no need for all this.
Love is overflowing. Love needs a new level of consciousness. Love needs a new climate and atmosphere. One can exist without love, but one only exists, one does not live with joy. Mere existence and survival is not life. People are only existing and vegetating. But there is no joy and grandeur in life.
One has to rebel against the stupid structures that is being taught by the universities, by the society, by the politicians, by the churches, by the vested interests and the media. Rebellion means to drop the whole past, and to live in the present without the stupid system. Then we will have a beautiful life full of joy, happiness, truth, freedom and beauty.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“Visvavitamin (The Sonnet)

It's a sad state of affairs when
you get used to the sight of blood,
glorifying aggression as bravehearted.
It's a sad state of affairs when
you feel good dressing up for gala,
while children are being bombed to death.

Sometimes aggression may be our last resort,
but never normalize it as civilized way of life.
The beast in me knows well to crush bones,
but the reformer I am, works to preserve life.

It's a sad state of affairs when
prejudice is glorified as piety,
and curiosity is branded blasphemy,
when lies are honored as liberty,
and empathy is declared unholy.

Bandaid to the broken, backbone to the fallen.
Vital to world-light, we are Visvavitamin.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“It is only through consciousness that we can hope to solve the ills of this world.”
― Paching Hoé Lambaiho, Words of the Shaman: 50 Quotes from Paching Hoé Lambaiho

“We all deserve a better ending to the story of the Holocaust. This could involve a strong multicultural Germany showing the way to the rest of Europe; an American society dealing bravely with the racial crimes of its past that still resonate today; an Arab world that expunges its barbarism and inhumanity … Nothing like that could happen if we continue to fall into the trap of treating mythologies as truths. Palestine was not empty and the Jewish people had homelands; Palestine was colonized, not “redeemed”; and its people were dispossessed in 1948, rather than leaving voluntarily.”
― Ilan Pappé, Ten Myths About Israel

“Ceasefire postpones war, disarmament instills peace.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Världsviking: Gudomlig Poesi

“Love of country is the root of all war.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“World War Peace (The Sonnet)

The same paradigm that produces
soldiers, produces terrorists.
In fact, soldiers are just
government approved terrorists.

Till the military is the most
dishonorable profession on earth,
you can forget about world peace,
forget about peaceful coexistence.

Military are the real terrorists,
regular terrorists are the byproducts,
all manufactured by state leaders,
sponsored by jungle civilians.

Love of country is the root of all war,
Every patriot is a potential terrorist.
Learn to love the world as one country,
The paradigm will shift from war to peace.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Diagnosis: Patriotism
(The Sonnet)

You know what distinguishes
a reformist from a terrorist!
The capacity to destroy the world,
yet choosing not to.

The capacity to press the button,
yet choosing not to.
The capacity to pull the trigger,
yet choosing not to.

The capacity to oblige the state,
but choosing humanity instead.
The capacity to be patriotic,
yet choosing to be human instead.

War is the symptom,
patriotism is the disease.
Terrorists harbor patriotism,
Reformists harbor peace.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“War is the symptom, patriotism is the disease.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Charity begins at home,
War begins at home.
Denounce all patriot pills,
for peace begins at home.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Peace comes from everyone wanting it; war starts when even one person doesn't.”
― Nitzan Hamburg
