“Uncomfortable Illumination (The Sonnet) Barbarism, thy name is Britain. Racism, thy name is America. Regress, thy name is Turkey. Intolerance, thy name is India. Superstition, thy name is East Europe. Megalomania, thy name is Russia. Snobbery, thy name is West Europe. Shallowness, thy name is South Korea. Only "humans" living in these lands, Will realize the truth in these words. Whereas the practitioners of prejudice, Will blow steam out of their ears. Ignorance, thy name is Sapiens. Illumination begins with illness acknowledgment.”

“Esperanza Impossible Sonnet 39 I need a religion, With less pomposity and more simplicity. I need a religion, With less noise and more tranquility. I need a religion, With less pollution and more sustainability. I need a religion, With less malnutrition and more magnanimity. I need a religion, With less citadels and more sidewalk. I need a religion, With less barking and more footwork. Yet when I look around I get choked with all the pollution. Perhaps the religion I seek doesn't exist, for I am my religion.”

“The Himalayan Sonneteer Anybody can be extraordinary, If they are born into privilege. But only the ones with no background, Can exude the impossible radiance. Some lights are far too bright, For an amateur species to see. Just like we can't hear above 20 kHz, Humanity fails to fathom impossibility. That's why they idolize artificial lights, Because the sun is beyond comprehension. If they ever stare straight at the sun, They'll go blind for sure, there is no question. So they celebrate little hills with skin-deep charisma, While it takes the world centuries to fathom the Himalayas.”

“Moronation Street (Sonnet 1013) Nationalism is modern cannibalism, As such nationalism is terrorism. Royalty is an act of crime, Obsessive Bloodline Disorder is clinical barbarism. Character and excellence are the measure of life, Not some cavemen constructs of blood and borders. When the I disappears and the world appears, That's when the animal disappears and the human appears. Fundamentalism is the antithesis of religion, For religion oughta bring inclusion not division. Nationalism is the desecration of a nation's humane identity, Each nation's security is predicated on collective ascension. Enough with the coronation of morons - enough with moronation! Beyond blood and border await the streets of civilization.”

“Run a layer of skin smoothening on a picture, And it enhances the quality of the picture. Run the smoothening more than is necessary, And you ruin the very life of the picture. Likewise, logical thinking in moderation, Enhances the quality of life. But practice logic beyond proportion, And you ruin the sweetness of life.”

“Sonnet 1103 Our ancestors are not the boss of us, Life must be dictated by living conscience. Dead people may have the right to make suggestions, But they do not have the right to issue mandates. Our ancestors belong in history books, Our descendants belong in comic books. Only we are alive to belong here and now, Don't waste that life, submissive to books. Too much involvement in the past cripples your present, The same is true with too much involvement in the future. If you are oblivious to the human condition of now and here, Ignorance and intellect will equally end up causing disaster. Use past and future as markers of direction, But never as authority on living tradition.”

I don't dress all ancient like a monk, yet monks come to hear the words I utter. I don't dress fancy like world leaders, yet world leaders look to me for answer.

“Only Bow to Love (Sonnet 1360) I don't bow to truth, Truth is my toy. I don't bow to science, Science is my toy. I don't bow to law, Law is my slave. I don't bow to wealth, All wealth end in ashes. I don't bow to no constitution, I pen constitutions in my sleep. No holy writ is my authority, I pour out holiness on a daily basis. I am love, I only bow to love. Till I sleep, everyday I fall anew. Facts, faith, law, go get in line. When I see fit, I'll call you.”

“Sonnet of Fields Art is a mirror of time that shows, What's been, is and could be. Science is a bridge of time, That helps us build the future to be. Philosophy is a spank on the tank, That makes us cautious of mistakes. Faith is but an imaginary friend, That fills in when the sky darkens. Education is a liaison to social lanes, That arms us to engineer new lanes. Medicine is a keeper of health, That helps us overcome sickness. Each social field has a noble cause, Whether they fulfill it depends on action of ours.”

“Hero Worship (The Sonnet) We used to worship the sun and the moon, We used to worship stones and trees. Then reason grew stronger along with imagination, So our worship shifted from elements to entities. Some of them were real and some fully fictitious, We just needed an excuse to externalize our divinity. Even today we keep inventing fictitious characters, Despite knowing they are fiction we pledge our loyalty. It seems like we are always holding out for a hero, Outside our very own everyday, ordinary psyche. Fiction is healthy so long as we grow no dependency, Real heroes are just humans standing unbent on duty. Enough with worship of fiction from comics and scriptures! It's time to be the hero and take the world on our shoulders.”

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 81 If a tradition endorses hate and mistrust, It’s the tradition that we must reject not people. If a heritage endorses division and discrimination, It's the heritage that we must reject not people. If an ancestor passes on bigotry and barbarism, It’s the ancestor that we must reject not people. If a bible teaches phobia and separatism, It’s the bible that we must reject not people. If a messiah preaches blindness and conspiracy, It's the messiah that we must reject not people. If God commands oppression and occupation, It’s the God that we must reject not people. Above all commandment, love is the highest truth. Anything that divides love is a stoneage residue.”

“Sonnet of Holy Water A new day starts with a new you, And I ain't talkin' about born again nonsense. A bigot baptized a thousand times is still a bigot, A human helping another is Christ himself. There is no second coming, there’s no reincarnation, Except when we go from selfishness to kindness. We are the messiahs and saviors of our people, Nobody's gonna fall from the sky to lift the helpless. The liquor store sells you the same divinity, That the holy store sells you for even higher price. We'll be born again when we abolish such divinity, By baptizing the soil of society with our sacrifice. The tears of joy someone sheds because of you, Are the only holy water to build the world anew.”

“Beyond Inclusion (The Sonnet) It is not really inclusion that we must aim for, Rather we must work to outgrow the need for inclusion. It is not really global harmony that we must aim for, We must outgrow the very term international relations. It is not really a reform in policy that we must aim for, Rather we must aim to outgrow the need for policy aids. It is not really social awareness we must aim to advocate, Rather we must be the living epitome of social oneness. It is not a flea market of parties that we must aim to build, Rather we must turn the very term partisanism obsolete. It is not a junkyard of ideologies that we must aim to raise, Absorbing good from all, let us stop being ideological elites. Plenty of time we have wasted on arguments of philosophy. Now let's go out on the streets and soil to get our hands dirty.”

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 58 Faith is no declaration of character, It is just a matter of mental necessity. It has nothing to do with truth and holiness, In many cases, it makes a person quite unholy. I often find myself speaking to my dead teacher, It gives me strength and helps me take the leap. The scientist in me knows it's all in my head, But sometimes all logic must take a backseat. The problem however is not our imaginary friend, It is our loyalty to it at the expense of our humanity. Keep your faith if it helps you through hard times, But never let it be an impediment to universality. Imagination is healthy when it sustains us as human, When it ruins our humanity, it's time for its demolition.”

“The Being is The Bridge (The Sonnet) I came to life at Dakshineswar, At Kapadokya I got my sight. I found my might at Shaolin, At Liberty Island I came to light. In Pernik I bathed in love, By the Volga I tasted sapience. Lika taught me the role of innovation, Sudbury gave me the sail of science. Streets of Calcutta showed me suffering, Streets of Chicago reminded, I'm the answer. It's not the place but people who hold magic, Revolution rose when all of them came together. You won't know me as the father of a nation. You'll know me as the maker of amalgamation.”

“Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers (The Sonnet) Listen you all discrimination-vaalo, No matter how much you whine and wallow, To obliterate all hateful bone and marrow, Lo comes a generation of caballera, caballero! Not a trace of dominant fear and anxiety, Not a particle of self-centric practicality, Lo come the bravehearts made of thunder, Lo come the true preservers of humanity! Breaking free from all that is old and rotten, Overcoming all drives of untamed tribalism, Lo come the sacred feminines of creation, Lo come the holy fathers of nondivisionism! Though divided by thought, still united by heart, Grab these new nerves, give yourselves a jumpstart.”

“How I Get My Ideas (The Sonnet) You wanted to know how I get my ideas, The universe speaks to me. You wanted to know how my words appear, The soil and the air hand them to me. You asked how do I speak for every culture, I listen to the heart beyond the word. You asked how am I not bound by geography, Long ago I turned my inner walls into dust. You said to me that I should have some fun, I'll indeed have fun when the fallen are lifted. You wanted to know why do I care at all, That's because I am an alive human not an insect. Instead of asking why and how a human acts human, If there is no such being around why not be the first one!”

“The Price I Pay (The Sonnet) I spent my life in the depth of heart, So my social skills are a little lacking. Either they want me to be deep always, Or they simply call me rather cheesy. Whenever I try small talking as human, I fail and fail again most spectacularly. That's the price I pay for being your rock, A timeless pillar unfit for warmth and amity. Mine is not to ask why, mine is to do or die, A path in which I turned my life into an idea. Still it'd be nice to be treated as a human, It'd be nice to feel the gentleness of another. There is no greatness without weakness. Greats must persevere no matter the coldness.”

“Thank You Hitler (The Sonnet) Thank you Hitler for showing the worst of humanity, I am sorry that we couldn't place you on a pedestal. Things would've been different if you were not a nobody, Particularly if you had a background royally honorable. Apparently if you have an empire to your name, You can get away with the most heinous of atrocities. If you have that blue blood running through your veins, Tyranny, oppression, are deemed as acts of great dignity. The common notion is, everything nazi is sick and sinister, At the same time, everything british is great and glorious, Despite the fact that it was the british empire that was, An international force of evil unlike the nazi bastards. Nazism is an enemy of humanity, there is no doubt. Only if we felt so for the empire as we do for the krauts!”

“Good Little Gods (The Sonnet) A good person once said, to turn the other cheek. I ain't him, I don't approve of his kind of naivety. Hurt me all you want, I may still keep quiet but, Lay a finger on my loved ones, 'n you are history. Someone once ordered, sacrifice your child for me, And a spineless patriarch rushed to obey it all. If god commands to slaughter someone I love, That stoneage nitwit will return without his balls. Someone said, strike your partner if she denies coitus, To which countless bugs still remain obedient. I ask that moron of a god to come 'n say it to me, And he won't be left man enough to even get a head. Humankind ain't no slave to no prehistoric lords. We may spare them only if they're good little gods.”

“Rightful King (The Sonnet) The rightful king is one who dissolves the kingdom. The rightful politician is one who dissolves the party. The rightful ruler is one who wants only to serve. The rightful citizen is always steadfast in accountability. Long live the Queen and Heil Hitler are one and the same, For both are sign of absolute allegiance without question. Allegiance to king and country keeps a land uncivilized, Allegiance to ideology and tradition destroys all ascension. Let there be no king and queen, let there be no kingdom, Let there be no party and let there be no authoritarianism. The force that builds a world doesn't come from bloodline, For character is beyond the grasp of our puny sectarianism. In a civilized society we are all king, we are all policymaker. The world advances when we advance as its fervent keeper.”

“Love Logic Intention (The Drunken Sonnet) Love that keeps you sober is no love, There is no soldier only drunken lover. A thousand dazzling Vegas turn bleak, When the soul shines with love's labor. For once, let go of all judgment my friend, Wipe out all cynicism from your core. Close your eyes and look with your heart, Either we are lovers or at death's door. Nutty logic makes nice machines, Nutty love makes a good society. Scars of love add definition to life, Tears of a lover are diamonds of divinity. Right world is the result of right intention. If you want light, burn, burn 'n burn again.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 56 It's the citizens’ duty to make a nation nonpartisan, Government is meant to serve as powerless figurehead. All my hopes lie in the hands of accountable citizens, A good politician acts a citizen, not political dunderhead. So no more procrastination with the curation of society, No more playing hooky in the school of life and sanity. Be the politician that you seek in the sewers of state, Not by law but by an indefatigable accountability. Democracy means rule of the people, not sleep of people, Yet that's what it means to people 'n politicians alike. But shhh, nobody is supposed to admit any of it in public, For discretion is the better part of a society of sleeping mice. Let sleeping slime sleep, if you are human, take charge now. Dream with your eyes open and keep your democracy vow.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 94 How will you know you’ve realized love? When people no longer appear at a distance. When they no longer appear as people, But as reflection of your own essence. When the other becomes I, I becomes universal. In that universal I all that there is, Is an echo of the people. The I is in all people, But people are not in all the I. That is why we suffer so much, That is why we all cry, cry and cry. If one dies thinking of people, They will live on through people.”

Please, I beg you, do not turn me back, Let me in, so I may be one with your footstep. It's not my fault, I wasn't born in your culture, Yet I've assimilated your culture as my own. Please do not throw me out my dear friend, Standing together our powers will be honed. I may not speak your native tongue, I may not be familiar with your way of life. But do you not smile like me when in joy, Like me do you not shed tears when in strife! Here I stand at your door with my arms stretched. Hold it with affection or chop it off if you so elect.”

My life is only life when you are in it, For a life without love is but death in disguise. Without you my achievements mean nothing, ‘Cause you’re the sweetness of all my flight.

You are my sky, my land and my ocean. The breath of my life is you and my salvation.”

“I'm No Poet (The Sonnet) I thought I could bear the title poet, But as it turns out, I cannot. I can barely bear the title of scientist, Let alone adding another next to it. Each title feels like a burden herculean, My heart cannot function with such burden. If I am to create works of life and wholeness, I must be free from titles, sane and insane. My ideas are not born of mere thought, If they were, there wouldn't be any torment. My work comes from a land beyond labels, A place deeper than thought can penetrate. So you may call me whatever you like. In my mind, I am but a nameless light.”
