Generation Corazon: Nationalism is Terrorism Quotes

“Not Woke, Only Accountable (A Sonnet) I am no teacher but only lover, I know no philosophy but amity. I am no writer but only revolution, I know no politics but serenity. I am no thinker but only soldier, I know no science but ascension. I am no authority but only service, I know no poetry but inclusion. I am no humanist but only human, I know no ideology but oneness. I am no woke but only accountable, I know no paradise but acceptance. Taint not the mind with a puny label. We are beautiful when we are indivisible.”

“Miracle Human (The Sonnet) Turning water into wine is no miracle, It just means you are high on something. Real miracle is to share your last drop, With someone who is suffering. To heal and to help are the highest miracle, Even if it requires the self to be sacrificed. A mortal who bears agony for others, Is the real miracle personified. So wake up and work O Miracle Human, Rush to the helpless as monsoon rain. Cast yourself at the feet of the forgotten, There is nothing more noble and humane. Prayers don't work for there's no merciful almighty. Answer to all prayers is a human practicing humanity.”

“Discard anything that makes you narrow, discard anything that separates you from people, discard anything that impairs your growth. Discard traditions that make you narrow, discard scriptures that make you narrow, discard heritage that makes you narrow, discard culture that makes you narrow, discard constitutions, policies and governments that make you narrow. Expansion is the watchword of life, nay, expansion is life, narrowness is death.”

“Sonnet of Identity Tell me O Mississippi, What is my name? For I lost my sense of self, In line of service without gain. Dear mountains of Blue Ridge, Where did I come from? I fathom not the worldly titles, I deny narrowness as the norm. Character makes the person, Not pedigree and tradition. If I can lift even five lives, That’ll be my highest salvation. So forget that I asked about my identity. Service is my culture and my nationality.”
