Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations Quotes

“Refugees & Colonizers (The Sonnet) Refugees carry culture, Colonizers carry infection. Colonizers are the virus, Refugees are civilization. Refugees live on hope, Colonizers thrive on greed. Refugees dream of acceptance, Colonizers dream supremacy. Refugees are the true free and brave, they carry within the silver lining. There's nothing brave about genocide, no matter the whitewashed thanksgiving. Refugees are practicing healers, living testament of wounds to ointment. Colonizers are proof of darwinism, that from monkeys comes the human race.”

“Manavad Gita, Sonnet (Song of Human) Cosmos is my koran, Brahmand is my bible. No writ is whole enough, to contain mind indivisible. All say their scripture is god-given*, it takes holiness to find humans holy. To surpass the superstition of *bhagavad, is the beginning of civilized sanctity. My holiness is in my hands, no fantasy is my authority. I'm not against faith of fiction, but it's time for human based divinity. If you need myths to sustain your holiness, it's a lot of things, but it ain't holy. Holiness of humans cares for the humans, this is my song offering to humanity.”

“Hva er Jeg? Jeg er ikke en kapitalist, Jeg er ikke kommunist, Jeg er ikke sosialist, Jeg er ingen tradisjonalist. En ynkelig, klinisk sekterisk art som din kan ikke forstå hva jeg er. Betyr det at jeg ikke er samme art som deg! Jada, jeg er - men fra en annen dimensjon - en annen dimensjon i tid - en annen dimensjon i tankene - der intellektet kun er et verktøy, ikke tortur – der tro kun er et valg, ikke en tvang – der penger kun er et middel, ikke en mester – der enhet er grunnleggende, ikke fiksjon.”

“Blue Blood & Blue Collar (The Sonnet) I have nothing against blue blood, any more than I'm against blue collar. But blue blood think honor is an heirloom, while blue collar earn their rightful honor. That's what I call true human character, unreliant on some fictitious identity. Every human must earn their admittance, into the civilized realm of humanity. I can still accept any blood, blue or otherwise, if they have the decency to acknowledge atrocity. Otherwise, all blue blood are canine incarnate, unworthy of acknowledgment of their existentiality. King and president, ceo and janitor, all are equal, only behavior merits honor.”

“Naskar not Nascar (The Sonnet) Naskar is an alter ego, Naskar is a calling, a madness bigger than sanity, not chained to one being. Even Abi is no match for Naskar, Abi will perish, not Naskar. Naskar is a chemical catastrophe, priming humans as kind thunder. Naskar is factory of humanitarians, imbued with wonders against malice. Muscle up your heart, heart up your brain, uncontaminated by leanings of prejudice. Nascar is a race, Naskar is a journey, voyage of sapiens ushering in humanity. Surpassing constraints of bigotry, Naskar is Manifest Humanity.”

“When world cries blood (The Sonnet) When world cries blood, your blood ought to boil. If you feel nothing at all, you're a stain upon the soil. Fire in blood you can't inherit, Wake up to duty and ignite yourself. Second hand souls boast bloodline, Humans weave nobility with actions. When the world cries blood, backbone oughta spark thunder. If you feel nothing at all, file for a bankrupt character.”
