“It is not patriarchal to hold the door for a lady, It is not cowardly to leave your seat to the elderly. But it is barbaric to harass a breastfeeding mother, And prehistoric to force a woman carry a pregnancy.”

“Melanin Maniacs (The Sonnet) White guy writes a couple of sonnets and plays, And he is idolized as an olympian deity. Colored guy smashes the paradigm to ashes, And it warrants absolute unacceptability. Apparently, greatness is only greatness, If it can be credited to a caucasian. Otherwise they only end up pondering, What's the deal with this non-white person! It's a sad, sad world we live in, All the advancement is on the outside. Inside we are dumber than Donald Duck, Which has ruined all hope for real insight. Enough of this obsession with white aphrodisiacs! It's time to act as humans, and not melanin maniacs.”

“An Immigrant's Plight (The Sonnet) With hopes and dreams brimming in my heart, I have traveled across miles and miles. A single desire for a flame of acceptance, Still burns bright in my heart's aisle. You say home is where the heart is, But my heart is accused of difference. Sometimes I'm accused of faith or race, Other times they question my allegiance. Amidst the illusive fog of color and geography, When did humanity cease mattering most! Sentiments and dreams have no borders, Character isn't exclusive to any single coast. We’ve wasted enough time on labels and covers, It's time to be family filling the world with colors.”

“Diplomats sitting inside their cozy air-conditioned offices most profoundly utter, you must have patience to have peace on earth. To them I say, how dare you preach on peace, you ignorant snobs - tell that to the innocent little kids who are suffering in warzones, without any clue as to whether they'll live to see the next day - while the capitalist circle of the developed world keeps getting richer by getting the shallow masses hooked on nonessential technology, these children of war have one question in their mind - whether starvation will kill them first or explosives. Shame on you - shame on us - who despite having a roof over head and food on the table, have not the slightest bit of concern for these innocent lives forgotten by destiny. There is no time for patience - there is no time for diplomacy - there is no time for policies, legislations and meaningless paperwork. It's enough already. Either stand up and rush to the aid of these war-stricken communities through whichever means possible or keep your mouth shut for the rest of your life.”

“Earth Engineer (Sonnet 2336) Earth has abundant resources to suffice our need, but no planet has enough to suffice our greed. Earth is rich, earth is bountiful, like a doting mother, she provides for all her kids. There is no economic depression, only addiction of power and money. There is no population explosion, only outbreak of egocentricity. What's the point of your architecture or engineering degree, if you can't build a human habitat without destroying entire ecosystems of other living things! And you call yourself an engineer, an architect - a sparrow has more sense than a stupid earthling. Reach for the stars all you want, but anchor your soul in the soil. Human blood deficient of salt from earth, leads to a history of mental turmoil.”

“I'm not a vegetarian, I could eat anything if it's well cooked and tastes good, but preservation of wildlife is nonnegotiable, because it is only by preserving biodiversity, that we ensure a sustainable planet for humanity. It is one thing to consume animals for food, and another to destroy entire ecosystems for profit. There is nothing wrong in development, but development founded on destruction of nature, is the most expensive ticket to human extinction.”

“The Human Virus (Climate Summon) Mother Earth is a living organism, forests are the lungs of the planet, soil is the womb, oceans are blood - climate change is the planet having fever, in response to the human virus. Economy rooted in greed is not growth, religion rooted in dogma is not holy, innovation rooted in vanity is not science, abundance without wholeness ruins the society. Earth doesn't need our consent to wipe us out, any more than we asked permission from corona virus. Cosmos carries no fury like a mother done wrong - Mother brings us into the world, mother can take us out.”

“The Gender Sonnet Woman means not weakling, but wonder. Woman means not obstinate, but original. Woman means not man-slave, but mother. Woman means not amorous, but amiable. Woman means not neurotic, but nimble. Man mustn't mean medieval, but moral. Man mustn't mean abusive, but affable. Man mustn't mean nefarious, but noble. Trans doesn't mean titillating, but tenacious. Trans doesn't mean riff-raff, but radiant. It doesn't mean abhorrent, but affectionate. It ain't nasty and sick, but nerved and sentient. Gender has no role in society except in bed. Person is known by character, not dongs 'n peaches.”

“When you move to a new environment with cultural and social characteristics different from your own, it is only logical, that you loosen some of the knots of your religious doctrines, to embrace the new and vivid environment as much as you wish to be embraced by the environment.”

“Truth doesn't sell, lies do, complexity does. But here's the thing. Lies sell in the guise of higher truth. That's why "love thy neighbor" is not a simple way of life, but an entire messed up institutionalized indoctrinating religion. Because if you forget all those frivolous dogmas, doctrines and stories, and simply embrace love thy neighbor as the supreme way of life, religious leaders won't have anything to sell you, and when they have nothing to sell you, they won't have any control over you.”

“Whoever comes to these shores of liberty, in the hope of life, freedom and happiness, automatically becomes an American, by measure of the same determination and will that made our founding fathers set foot on Plymouth Rock escaping British bigotry, snobbery and barbarism.”

“Latin No Ilegal (El Soneto) Yo soy latino y orgulloso, Pero no soy un bandido. Mi piel es morena y soy ruidoso, Pero no soy un desesperado. Algunos no pueden hablar inglés, Pero no somos humanos inferiores. Para la amistad haremos cualquier cosa, Amamos a la familia, como ustedes. Los imperialistas robaron nuestra tierra, Torturaron a nuestros antepasados. Sin embargo, nos llamas ilegales, Sin ningún remordimiento. Nadie puede cambiar el pasado, pero, Construyamos el presente sin prejuicios.”

“Terrorists and Thieves (Sonnet) Terrorists who manifested their destiny on stolen land, are banning immigrants! Thieves who built their AI empire, not on public domain data, but on stolen copyrighted material, are upset with other thieves stealing from them! More than the inhumanity it is the hypocrisy that is so astounding. I say astounding, but not really, it's just pathetic and disappointing. It's happening all over again, colonizers are spreading their tentacles, all the while being idolized as icons, instead of being held accountable for their ritualistic human rights violations. Parasites live off the labor of humans, and monkeys worship them as kings. This is neither innovation nor civilization, this is the jungle kingdom rebooting.”

“Mass deportation is human trafficking, but you'd have to have a human heart, unchained by patriotic allegiances, to fathom this. Every genocidal maniac is a patriot, and it's the golden age of crime, when the biggest cartel of a nation is its own government.”

“God is a Gypsy* (Sonnet) Kindness is my constitution, selflessness is divine sanity. To be human takes no scripture, living gospel takes humanity. Men of ritual, men of blind worship, will never know the breath of life, which in a way, is animal blessing, to know life is to be restless with light. To know light is to be restless, to know life is to be breathless, only those without life can sit still, for blindness is boon to the savages. The name is *Gitano - Abigitano; accused of freedom by alien hunters. War is legal, human trafficking is legal, genocide is legal, child-bombing is legal, and you call this civilized and religious!”

“Human kneels to no ICE or SS (Sonnet 2200) Human bows to no flag or crown, human claims no jeweled throne - rejoicing in ruin of reputation, human stands unbent and alone. Bound to no creed or clan, human kneels before no stone - every place where hate looms, human sings in flesh and bone. Human kneels to no ICE or SS, human fears no dictatorial decree - where chains are sold as holy relic, human comes alive, roaring to be free. Human walks not in luxury suits, but in dusty rags of the street - human feasts with homeless folks, and dies happy at their feet.”

“I keep working in solitude and agony with no one by my side, day after day, without any hope for personal happiness, for I carry the responsibility to unify the humans, by pointing out to them, with evidence, their innate oneness beyond all sectarianism - and I do so, not out of any sort of compulsion, rather, because that's who I am - I am no human - I am the unifying force of nature - I am the One and I am the All - in me lies the possibility of human harmony - in me lies the possibility of human acceptance - I am the driving force of conscience - I am the absolute timeless ocean of unified sentience.”
