Life Poem Quotes

“UNDIVIDED

I am for
One world undivided.
One world without fear and corruption.
One world ruled by Truth and Justice.

I am for
One peaceful world for all,
Where hate has been overcome by love,
And everyone is guided only
By their conscience.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“THREE BASIC TRUTHS

Three things have a limited threshold:
Time, pain, and death.
While truth, love, and knowledge –
Are boundless.

Three things are needed
For humanity to co-exist:
Truth, peace and basic needs.
Everything else -
Is irrelevant.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“People Over Path (The Sonnet)

Celebrities defend vanity,
Intellectuals defend intellect,
Preachers defend scriptures,
Scientists defend factual evidence.
I found plenty of human professions,
But in none of them I found a human.
All are obsessed to defend their path,
Yet all paths are dead without a human.
No matter who we are or what we are,
Above all else our identity is humanness.
If this simple fact is still not clear enough,
All vanity, intellect, texts and science are baseless.
Before defending a puny path, let us take a human peek.
If we must defend, let us defend the helpless and weak.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work

“Death comes but once,
Life comes every day.
Now tell me what's braver,
Spirit of life or fear of death!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yaralardan Yangın Doğar: Explorers of Night are Emperors of Dawn

“That's it' one day Mother Nature will say to us, 'no more laughter, no more tears, my child.'
The vast, infinite life will begin all over again,
a life not seeing, not talking, not thinking.”
― Nâzım Hikmet, Henüz Vakit Varken Gülüm

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 33

There is no lord almighty, only human almighty,
No magic and mysticism, only nature and oneness.
There are no ten commandments, only one,
Compassion has no religion, character has no race.
There’s no law above life, life alone is the supreme law,
And stagnant law does more harm than action illegal.
There is no holy trinity, only humanity up on its toes,
It is always the human mind playing the triangle.
No more dogmas, no more doctrines and manifestos,
Let us be forthright 'n just foster the spirit of affection.
Once we learn to celebrate each other's existence,
There won't be any need for artificial occasion.
Awake, arise o dynamite, blow up all old paradigm.
Don't fight it, or cuss it, just overwhelm it with your lifeline.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Honor He Wrote: 100 Sonnets For Humans Not Vegetables

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 39

The more I write the more I realize,
The inane limitations of language.
Never be a stickler for terminology,
It only impedes your humanness.
If anything, try to set humanity free,
From the bounds of words 'n speech.
Let the world know who you are,
But without being a linguistic leech.
Behavior alone defines a person,
Make behavior your background.
Neither culture, nor geography,
It's only in action that identity is found.
Unfold your today beyond your yesterday,
Or else, there'll be no tomorrow, only decay.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Honor He Wrote: 100 Sonnets For Humans Not Vegetables

“Consensus of Heart (The Sonnet)

Place truth at the feet of love,
Intellect at the feet of integration.
Place belief at the feet of harmony,
Stubbornness at the feet of ascension.
Place tradition at the feet of expansion,
Individuality at the feet of collectivity.
Place knowledge at the feet of warmth,
Patriotism at the feet of world community.
Place differences at the feet of unity,
Rebellion at the feet of accountability.
Place serenity at the feet of social uplift,
Practicality at the feet of dignity 'n equality.
Whether there is consensus of head or not,
Let us first ensure consensus of the heart.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Dervish Advaitam: Gospel of Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers

“Law of Light (The Sonnet)

Light shared is light amplified,
Light hoarded is light lost.
Life is light when lived for others,
Darkness when lost in snobbish cause.
We are truly knowledgeable,
When our knowledge annuls animosity.
We truly have existence solely when,
We exist to elevate all of humanity.
Elevation of humanity happens,
One neighborhood at a time.
Time and space have meaning,
Only when they help our spirits align.
In short, there is neither time nor space.
Either everything is love or sheer nonsense.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 100

All meditate on symbols,
I meditate on people.
Most worship fictitious deities,
I worship those branded unliftable.
People are my almighty,
Oneness is my religion,
Division is degradation,
Unification is illumination.
All is possible for a human who's responsible,
Only the indifferent make excuses.
Possibility is born of responsibility,
Not of whining, praying and limbless wishes.
Real and unreal, put all these talk aside.
Let us be civilization, let us be lifelight.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Honor He Wrote: 100 Sonnets For Humans Not Vegetables

“Fabric of Stars (The Sonnet)

Rise or fall doesn’t matter,
If you've helped a few people.
Live or die doesn’t matter,
If you've helped a few people.
The point of life is not to live,
Any more than it is to just eat.
The point of life is to lift lives,
In their smile is victory, in tears defeat.
To win over enemies is ridiculously easy,
To win over hearts is the real act of valor.
Muscles wither, clothes get torn to pieces,
Valor and virtue can’t be bound by no graveyard.
Graves are for animals and gutter-crawling worms.
Helpers get forever etched upon the fabric of stars.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work

“Halkat Humans (The Sonnet)

The history of human progress,
Is the history of halkat* humans.
Only the *loco make the earth civilized,
By growing out of habits and traditions.
Habits of yesterday are a gutter of biases,
Hence they ain't the right habits of today.
Let us not confuse them as modern identity,
Let us not endorse them throwing reason away,
Traditions born of bigotry and ignorance,
Are hardly a measure of civilization.
Measure of civilization is an expanding spirit,
One that ever evolves discarding superstition.
Turn your heart into a khichdi (fusion) of cultures,
And behold o mighty human, as all division disappears.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“Evolution & World Building (The Sonnet)

One cell became two,
For being alone is no life.
Then those two became four,
To ease each other's strife.
3 billion years later there are,
Seven billion of us and trillions others.
Now how come we wanna turn back time,
How come we hoard all after selfish desires!
Joy of sharing outshines all other joy
Caring is the very foundation of life divine.
Divinity means neither magic not mysticism,
It’s just a common sense that makes hearts align.
The powers of world-building are all encoded in you.
Bring those codes to life and write the world anew.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“Is There More (The Sonnet)

Is there more to life than mere eating!
Is there more to existence than mere fighting!
Is there more to progress than mere greed!
Is there more to administration than controlling!
Is there more to health than mere pills!
Is there more to knowledge than mere facts!
Is there more to character than mere outfits!
Is there more to development than cruel tact!
Is there more to communication than mere talking!
Is there more to tradition than ancient habits!
Is there more to a person than skin and bones!
Is there more to learning than rotten beliefs!
Even the sky is no limit for a mind that expands,
Whereas the savage mind of rigidity is forever bland.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“No Struggle No Life (The Sonnet)

Ain't no life without struggle,
Ain't no heart without heartbreak.
Ain't no destination without the journey,
Ain't no courage without some dread.
Ain't no clarity without some confusion,
Ain't no serenity without suffering.
Ain't no contentment without disappointment,
Ain't no resilience without failing.
Ain't no mindfulness without mindlessness,
Ain't no uplift without some devastation.
Ain't no knowledge without ignorance,
Ain't no salvation without self-annihilation.
Ain't no I without the Us, without the We.
Ain't no We, unless the norm is nonbinary.”
― Abhijit Naskar, High Voltage Habib: Gospel of Undoctrination

“The Empowered Sonnet

Woman empowered is civilization empowered.
Dream empowered is progress empowered.
Parents empowered is children empowered.
Teachers empowered is future empowered.
Don't defund the police, use those funds,
To send the officers to behavioral therapy.
To have an understanding of justice and order,
We must have a grip over our impulses and biases.
Discrimination don't disappear if we shut our eyes,
Each of us must live as an antidote to discrimination.
Ignorance doesn't become knowledge when peddled by scripture,
Better burn all scriptures if they peddle hate and division.
To conquer our biases and stereotypes is to conquer inhumanity.
To expand our heart beyond assumption is to empower humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, High Voltage Habib: Gospel of Undoctrination

“Civilization is Not A Place (The Sonnet)

No matter who likes it not,
Say Gay anyway.
Compliance to discrimination,
Is the coward's way.
A true leader once said, women belong in,
All places where decisions are being made.
I say, fudge it all,
Women just belong, period.
They say, they don't want their kids,
To be hurt learning history.
I say, if learning history makes you hurt,
You are in dire need of therapy.
Civilization begins when we acknowledge our primitiveness.
Civilization is not a place, it's a people, it's a process.”
― Abhijit Naskar, High Voltage Habib: Gospel of Undoctrination

“Never Ask (The Sonnet)

Never ask a poet,
Why they write what they write.
If they knew why they write,
No poetry will have any light.
Never ask a painter,
Why they paint what they paint.
If they knew why they paint,
All paint will turn bleak and faint.
Never ask a scientist,
Why they are curious the way they are.
If they knew the reason for their curiosity,
There wouldn't be any science, nor uplift's desire.
The drive for expression takes a million shapes,
When all combine without condescension we'll see God's face.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Bulldozer on Duty

“Valley of Light (The Sonnet)

Behind every cloud,
There is a silver lining.
The cloud is in the mind,
So is the silver lining.
The brush is born of mind,
The paint as well is born of mind.
If the painting has no color,
That too is because of the mind.
When the mind is bright so is the sun,
When the heart is dark so is the sun.
When everything looks dull, just look inside,
You'll discover, all along you've been the sun.
Heart is the gateway to its own valley of light.
Heart is the pedestrian, heart is the might.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“Hate Not The Hater (The Sonnet)

In most cases what seems,
Like hate is actually envy.
Even the haters don't know that,
Haters just hate what they can't be.
Others' achievement intimidates the puny,
Whereas it inspires those wanting to grow.
Pay no attention to the mockery of morons,
Ridicule can't diminish a braveheart's glow.
When an empty flashlight mocks the sun,
Does it affect the sun's glory one bit!
Hate not the haters in return my friend,
It's just their way of acting needy, that's it.
One lover is braver than a hundred haters.
One heart alive and aloud is the bias breaker.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“Come, let us be pioneers of light,
Let us feast on the world's darkness!
To drink poison and deliver elixir,
Is the first nature of a sapiens.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amor Apocalypse: Canım Sana İhtiyacım

“If the head disappears from earth,
There'll be no progress whatsoever.
But if the heart disappears from earth,
There'll be no human whatsoever.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amor Apocalypse: Canım Sana İhtiyacım

“Nothing about life is straightforward,
Life is messy - disaster one after another!
Only way we can survive this cataclysmic mess,
Is with extreme cruelty or unyielding character.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“Heavier the pain, greater the hope,
But the language of hope is not inaction.
Real hope brings a sense of responsibility,
Whereas imitation hope induces stagnation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“Youth is not what you think,
Youth is not a matter of numericity.
Youth is the celebration of life,
Youth is the spirit of discovery.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“Life is poetry no poet can write,
life is science no scientist can grasp.
Life is to be lived for life's sake,
not autopsied as differential calculus.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yarasistan: My Wounds, My Crown

“Eyes on ambition,
feet on the ground.
Hands on heart,
and mind unbound.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yarasistan: My Wounds, My Crown

“Lifting from Depression


In the state of depression
feeling miserable, a statement undermining
all the potential harms when
self-worth knocking no mercy found,
hopelessness shadowing the self-worth
finding the false identity, absence from feeling
the way to feel.
Once depression sinking to the deepest state
of oppressing state, risking life
to mark the fault answer to end everything.


The depressed mood clouding the thinking mind,
impairing the judgement looking at life,
depressed mood, a desperate cry in mental despair,
when the reality of life is much brighter
than the state of depressing mood.
The reality of life is a hopeful life.


False sense of hopelessness,
a correctable state of the mind when do you
realized this? Disconfirming the strong false belief
of hopelessness is a way to go.
Depressed state of the mind can be lifted
with psychiatric care and psychotherapeutic help.
An early call to psychiatrist is the way to help,
and the loved ones offer emotional support
a good way to help, receiving help
the answer to redefining the state of the mind.


When adequate help arrives lifting from depression,
the depressed dark cloud lifted
from the state of depressed mind and you can clearly
see and move forward with what is in front of you.
Life backs into the living force,
keep on moving at will, living a full life
with life moving forward with all at will.
