Earthquakin' Egalitarian: I Die Everyday So Your Children Can Live Quotes

“New Melody (The Sonnet) What is this new melody, That I hear on my guitar! What is this new tune, That makes squabbles disappear! What is this new serenade, Calling upon a headstrong wind! Whose are the footsteps I hear, With such vigor yet gentle and kind! Amidst the cacophony of cockiness, What is this heartbeat of sacrifice! Amidst the drumbeats of individualism, What is this new desire to universalize! What is this new voice of sanity I hear! It is you and me, the branded blasphemer.”

“Heart Humanish (The Sonnet) I am but a simple sufi, What'll I do with applause! If you want to give something, Lend a corner in the heart of yours. I am but a fumbling fakir, What'll I do with all the gold! Only with the touch of a kind heart, We shall bring prosperity in our world. I am but an ignorant dervish, I don't know much ayat and psalm. All I know is, love is the breath of life, Without it, all progress is harm. Rituals and intellect all will perish, What will live on is the heart humanish.”

“Praise (The Sonnet) In praising myself, I only insult myself. In pleasing myself, I bring misery upon myself. Lots of things I bought, Plenty places I travelled. Nothing gave me the bliss I seek, No matter how much I groveled. Then I stopped wanting things, I ceased craving for gratification. I placed my heart at your feet, Finally I found my absolution. Long was I lost in the sleep of pride. Erasing the self I found my light.”

“Unselfishness is the only love there is. In my teenage years I fell in love with humankind. Ever since then I've been an insane drunkard. I am so drunk with love for the people of earth that all the alcohol in the world holds no appeal for me.”

“My Liberty (The Sonnet) My liberty is not in luxury, My liberty is on the blades of grass. My liberty is not in the palace, My liberty is in molecules of dust. My liberty is not in fancy ceremonies, My liberty is in alleys of the homeless. My liberty is not in the crown jewels, My liberty is at the feet of the pathless. My liberty is not in murals of rigidity, My liberty is across tradition’s torment. My liberty is not in the habits of history, My liberty is in building the present. My liberty is in the destruction of destiny. I am liberty incarnate and I write my own reality.”

“Worship of Chains (The Sonnet) Enough with the worship of chains! Enough with celebration of selfishness! Time it is to shatter the altars of separation. Time it is to be the ravager of primitiveness. Let us hang all our sectarian gods and idols. Let us start a new worship of love and liberty. Let us be prophets and messengers of harmony. Let us be disintegrated in realization of inclusivity. Let us go insane and kick all prison-gates down. Let us burn locks to ashes with flames of heart. Let us call upon the vigor eternal from within. Let us hunt down the last trace of inhuman dirt. Let us draw a noble anatomy for civilization. Let us lay ourselves as cornerstones of ascension.”
