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

“Break Destiny (The Sonnet) Be the one to make and break destiny, For all powers of universe are in you. Be the one to make and break paradigm, For the very source of creation is you. Cowards and vegetables talk of fate, While the valiant is up and working. Those who can't do mock the doer, Yet there's no progress without a dingaling. If taking a stand makes you a nutcase, Be the nuttiest case that has ever walked. But never you compromise with insanity, Even if it is endorsed by the whole world. You are the defender of all society. Even in hardship never forget your duty.”

“Just A Human Sonnet Emotion first, Attire later. Simplicity first, Sovereignty later. Friendship first, Faith later. Goodness first, God later. Morality first, Nationality later. Peace first, Patriotism later. Let nothing be a hindrance to humanity, Fulfilment of life lies in universality.”

“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.”

“I Want The Golden World (The Sonnet) No matter what you say, I want the golden world. To hell with the sayers of nay, I keep working without reward. You may have your comfort, Enjoy all your luxuries futile. For me there's no other joy, Like making someone smile. All you do is take and take, Yet I have nothing against thee. Just remember that one day, You shall die of obesity. Vegetables can mock all they want. I shall die building the golden world.”

“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.”

“Sonnet of A Religious Person I spent years as a Christian, I didn't find God. I spent years as a Muslim, I didn't find God. I spent years as Hindu and Sikh, Still there was no inkling. I spent years as Buddhist and Atheist, Still I understood nothing. I did it all, prayers, rituals, meditation, None of it brought me serenity. For serenity has been all along, At the feet of the ailing humanity. I shelved all scriptures and stood as human. Kindness alone is the sign of a religious person.”

“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.”

“Brave, The Sonnet Say o brave, o soldier of eternal heights, May I be decapitated before my head bows. Say o brave, o explorer of impossibility, May I feed another while my stomach growls. Say o brave, o pedestrian of purity, I obey no law for I'm the epitome of rightness. Say o brave, o athlete of amor and amity, I am sheer insanity exuding real saneness. Say o brave, o bearer of benevolence, I am disaster, blaster and master of destiny. Say o brave, o vessel of valiance, I devour fear, greed, pride and insecurity. Say o brave, I am the seed of all assimilation, The first one standing, earthquakin' egalitarian.”

“My Lady Liberty (The Sonnet) O my beloved lady liberty, Here, I place my head at your feet. The way you've been upholding freedom, May I live as vigorous without greed. You have given refuge to the persecuted, You have shown light to the distressed. May I be as upright as you my dear, May my life shelter the meek and repressed. Let me absorb you through my every pore, So I may draw from your eternal strength. The way you stand as testament of justice, May I stand as steady giving up my last breath. I can never repay my debt to you lady liberty. Take my life and use it as ointment for society.”

“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.”

“Latin not Lethal (The Sonnet) Yes I am latino and proud, That doesn't make me a thug. Yes I am brown in color and loud, That doesn't mean I'm a lethal bug. Some of us can't speak English, That doesn't make us second-rate. We care for family as much as you, In friendship we walk to the world's end. Savage imperialists walked on our corpses, While they snatched our lands and homes. Yet you call us illegal and dangerous, Showing no remorse or desire to atone! None of us can undo the past I know. Our kids may walk together, let's make sure.”

“My Golden Earth (The Sonnet) O my golden earth, I am but your stupid lover. The flute of your dazzling fragrance, Makes my agonies disappear. Whenever your sky is cloudy, My heart drowns in drought. Whenever your oceans quiver, With tears my eyes get fraught. Whenever you giggle in prosperity, It pours honey into my ears. Whenever you shine with festivals, Light and love erase my historic fears. You are my home o my golden earth. All your children are my sisters and brothers.”

“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.”

“Plight of A Pakistani (The Sonnet) The world sees us as a terrorist nation, Why is it so? Despite our love and care for family, Why do you deem us as extremist foe? As responsible citizens with a beating heart, We too want for our kids a world of peace. Yet whenever there's an act of terror, Why are we at the top of your suspect list! Every nation has terrorist elements, The Capitol insurrection is proof of it. But how can you blame an entire people, For the acts of a bunch of bigoted misfits! We don't ask you to show us pity. Just keep in mind, we too are part of humanity.”
