Gente Mente Adelante: Prejudice Conquered is World Conquered Quotes

“Crazy Not Callous (The Sonnet) I'm crazy, But not obnoxious. I'm free in mind, But not callous. I'm ignorant in many things, But I ain't no intolerant. I may not know much etiquette, I know caring with commitment. I am but a lover most naïve, No scholar of nothin'. I am but a warrior unbending, Got no time for philosophizin'. To live for people is the mission. In lifting the fallen lies salvation.”

“Sonnet of Fundamentals Equality, harmony, diversity, These are not something you believe. Just like water, air and food, These are not something you believe. Fundamentals of human life, Are beyond all pettiness of opinion. Argumentation may have its place, But we must distinguish facts from fiction. Plenty are the minds so are the beliefs, But beliefs mustn't undermine humanity. All of us are dumb, some less some more, So we must place people before rigidity. No belief is ultimate, no opinion olympian. Putting aside truth, let us first be human.”

“The Golden Sonnet Where is el dorado? It is not a city but a person. Where is the kingdom of heaven? It is not a place but compassion. Where can we find joy? Not the market but in acts of goodness. Where can we find health? Not in gadgets but in simpleness. Where can we find strength? Not in the bank but in character. How can we make progress? Not with luxury but by lifting the other. Lesser the needs, better the life. Gentler the soul, lighter the strife.”

“Love Alone Triumphs (The Sonnet) Great people have often said, Truth alone triumphs. I am no great but a plain human, So I say, love alone triumphs. Truth may require intellect, Inquiry requires some cynicism. To be loving needs none of that, Love lights up the darkest chasm. Keep your intellect if you desire, Explore further the arc of truth. But all the discovery means nothing, If countless souls go without food. It is far better to be an insane lover, Than to be a heartless discoverer.”

“Lift Others (The Sonnet) If you want to lift your spirit, Lift others. If you want to help yourself, Help others. If you want to find happiness, Forget about happiness. If you want to discover joy, Just give without selfishness. Be crazy, loco and bonkers, For the welfare of others. The only kingdom of heaven, Is in cheering someone who suffers. Better than self-help is unself-help, For the rise of people is rise of the self.”

“Ever Onward to Equality (The Sonnet) Someone once said, Ever onward to victory. I say to you today, Ever onward to equality. Though the objective is the same, In path lies the distinction. I'll say it plainly, to live is to grow, Including the means of revolution. Liberty is fundamental in life, But not by harming the innocent. Revolution of arms is revolution no more, What's needed is revolution in conscience. So I say, let us sacrifice all for society. Let us rise as soldiers of universal amity.”

“No Rest (The Sonnet) There is no rest, Till the last drop of tear is wiped out. There is no leisure, Till the voiceless can speak aloud. There is no relaxing, Till the last empty stomach is fed. There is no sleep, Till all droopy spines are made straight. There is no joy, Till the last grey life is colored. There is no comfort, Till the last anxious soul is empowered. The struggle isn't over till the fallen rise. Security later, first let us be civilized.”

“Flag Cruelty Fraught (The New American Anthem) Say, can you see, The darkness we've caused? Our star spangled banner, Is a flag cruelty fraught. It ain't land of the free, It ain't home of the brave. Where looks define dignity, Is but humanity's grave. Slavery is alive as racism, Bigotry still claims dominion. First we must treat these ailments, Or else, for us there is no dawn. O say, it's time to abolish all false glory. Forget valor, let's first practice equality.”

“Gun-Fetish (The Sonnet) When I was in my teenage years, I believed, having a gun would be so cool. Then I grew up and it occurred to me, Firearm fetish is but hysteria of the fool. Guns don't make the society safe, Any more than nukes ensure world peace. Civilians carrying personal firearm, Are but rabid dogs without a leash. If you are worried about self-defense, Daily practice some form of martial arts. Your gun is not only a threat to you, It is also a threat to your loved ones. So I beg you my responsible civilian sibling, Give up your gun and uphold peacemaking.”

“Hola, Soy GORA (The Sonnet) Hermanas y hermanos, hola, soy GORA, Guerrero, Observador, Reformador, Amante. Thus speaks the human practicing humanity, Despite all agony, no retrocedas oh valiente! To the helpless, destitute and discriminated, I am but a nameless servant most humble. To lift the fallen and make them self-reliant, Is the purpose of my life, straight and simple. Beware o peddlers of hate and bigotry, Get hold of your prejudice and hysteria! When calm, reformist mind brings light, When enraged, it is the fabled chupacabra! Each conscientious being is reform incarnate. From your humane struggle never you deviate.”

“Be Unrealistic (The Sonnet) Be unrealistic and work for a world, That the society considers nonsense. Once upon a time taming fire was unreal, Then arose a bunch of brave sentience. Today's madness is tomorrow's sanity, If we’re mad enough to stand solo on guard. Today's sacrifice is tomorrow's civilization, If we can give all without hoping reward. If only one person dies for the cause, A hundred people realize their humanity. I may die today in the line of duty, But the struggle continues through eternity. So let us be brave and go beyond reality. Let us be accountable and do the necessary.”
