“Stand Human Anyway (Sonnet 2262) If Jesus didn't exist, Moses didn't exist, Mohammed didn't exist, Vyas and Sid didn't exist, I'll still stand just as divine, just as alive, just as human. If the bible didn't exist, koran didn't exist, torah didn't exist, and vedas didn't exist, I'll still stand just as sacred, just as aware, just as human. If I didn't exist, my writings didn't exist, stand human anyway, within you is the ore. Don't outsource, you are the source, feet rooted in soil, not shackled in folklore.”

“You are defective – you are imperfect – you are far from the best version of yourself – but you have a 3 pound of lump of jelly inside your skull containing more nerve cells than there are stars in our galaxy, so be aware of this magnificent and miraculous possession of yours, because with that very awareness will you be able to trump all your shortcomings and imperfections and rise above them as the Lord Saint victorious.”

“Click Less, Live More (The Sonnet) Moments are vessel for memories, Don't waste them on snobbish hypes. A memory cherished with a loved one, Is worth more than a billion likes. The less devices you have to charge, The more charge you have for your mind. The less you obsess over convenience, The more you develop actual insight. Purpose of camera is to capture memory, Not to desecrate the moments seeking attention. Purpose of a picture is to rejuvenate emotions, Even a thousand pictures are useless without emotion. Click less, live more - that is the motto of wellness. Or else, click more, sick more - there is no treatment.”

“Facts are the ingredients, scientist is the vessel, and love is the fire. When all three come together, that's when good science is born, capable of nourishing a society. But if you just dump the ingredients in without measure, and serve them cold without first cooking them with love, it's not science, but a recipe for disaster.”

“The unification or “yog” of all humans in the psyche of the humans, that rises through simple human action or karma, with pure nonconflicted devotion or bhakti to the action and the self, while learning through healthy, effort-less effort or hatha and knowledge or gyana, is the king of all yoga, that is, raja yoga. This unification among humans is the real samadhi or nirvana in the civilized society of thinking humanity.”

“Victor Volcano (Sonnet for Haters) Haters keep yelling slurs, Then wonder and despond, Why do I always keep quite, Why do I never respond! I am not a slave you bought, At an arabian slave market. I am not your domestic pet, To exist for your amazement. I ain't no circus or zoo animal, To sit 'n bear slurs, you fool. My name is Victor Volcano, You're safe, so long as I'm cool. That's why I keep quite 'n walk away. If I ever retaliate, haters will fade away.”

“The purpose of education should be to nourish and strengthen a student's capacity, not to force-feed all students the same material, till they either pass some baseless test, or drop out of education altogether, - or commit suicide.”

“What is Science, What is Holy (Sonnet) There is no greater spiritual journey than the rejection of prejudice, there is no greater meditation than self-imposed scrutiny. Bringing a candle to a neighbor's home who had their power cut off, is far holier than lighting a thousand candles in the church. If you bring electricity to a marginalized community with a simple solar power kit, it's a far greater scientific achievement than the gargantuan glories of the LHC. There is no greater scientific achievement than simple science solving big problems. There is no greater holiness than trading in the bible for a simple act of kindness.”

“Environment and Development (The Sonnet) Environment is not more important than development, Development is not more important than environment. Since we no longer live in the wilderness as animals, We must make both work together in agreement. Why do we need to wipe out forests and lakes, To lay the foundation for growth and prosperity! With our achievements in science and tech, We can build modern cities nestled in greenery. Unfortunately, once the green of dollar starts rolling in, Green of nature goes out of the window. The real problem is the mindset of profits over people, It has nothing to do with our desire to grow. Let us find harmony between concrete and nature. Without harming earth, let us build green skyscrapers.”

“Soil, The Sonnet My skin is the color of soil, My covers are the color of soil. My heart is the color of soil, My blood is the color of soil. Species that forgets the soil, Is a lifeform abandoned by nature. Species that values sales over soil, Will soon be vaporized or drowned by nature. If we have no place for soil in our heart, How can we expect the soil to replenish us! If we have no place for nature in our heart, How can we expect nature to have a place for us! Only soil is real, all else is delusion. Advancement that has no regard for the soil, is but aneurysm destined for degeneration.”

“El Soneto de La Madre Soltera En nuestro mundo el mayor, Superpotencia es una madre soltera. Más valiente que los líderes mundiales, Es el corazón de una madre soltera. ¿Quieres construir una nación civilizada? ¿Quieres construir una sociedad civilizada? Pasar unos meses como estudiante, Sirviendo a los pies de una madre soltera. ¿Quieres la paz mundial y el progreso? Deja que las madres solteras dirigir el mundo. Apoya a ellas con valentía, con compromiso, Y verás el surgimiento de un nuevo mundo. Una mamá empoderada es una sociedad empoderada. Una madre soltera empoderada es la creación empoderada.”

“Godmind, Sonnet 2101 Come, look into my eyes, you'll smell the soil from Tabriz, chiming with the whirlwind of Konya. Come, peer into my endless abyss, fused with the fragrance of Bethlehem, you'll feel the breeze from Bodh Gaya. Don't be intimidated, just let it go, let the chaff of creed become compost. The vastness I live is the vastness in you, yet it seems alien, for you're grazing like cod. Nothing's out there except our image, whatever is there, is right here. Origin of universe is too stoic an undertaking, you just act human, right now and here. If boson is god particle of the universe, human is the god particle of society. Life is divine, when instrument of love, human is the heart particle of humanity.”

“Sonnet for Francis When the queen kicked the bucket, I felt zero loss - unless they go out of their way, to make amends, like did real Queen Diana, the entire bucking(ham) bunch are irrelevant. However, upon the passing of Francis, I do feel a certain loss, mainly because, despite being the head of an atrocious church, he had the potential for growth and tolerance. Not everyone is in the position to be outspoken against all inhumanities, but if you have the guts to call out even some, you have a life-long friend in me. I cherish every human who shows even the slightest trace of inclusivity, as strongly as I feel resigned towards any ape that thrives on prejudice disguised as piety.”

“There is nothing glorious in the death of a soldier - it's only a disgusting reminder of our petty and primitive self-centeredness, that keeps separating us from our own kind, simply because of some illusory borders created by illusory governments.”

“Either Western or Human (Undoing Westwash Sonnet) When the Brits invade a country, It's called the march of civilization. When refugees arrive in search of life, It's dehumanized as illegal immigration. When America recruits talents from abroad, It is proudly boasted as headhunting. When another nation does exactly the same, It is hailed as espionage and IP stealing. When America spies on everybody else, It is sugarcoated as national security. If someone so much as loses a weather balloon, It is used to gaslight a nation into a frenzy. To see the world as it is, first we gotta take off our western glasses. Look at the human world with human eyes, only then you'll fathom justice and progress.”
