Giants in Jeans: 100 Sonnets of United Earth Quotes

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 49 Vegetables have destiny, Humans have responsibility. Vermin have luxury, Humans have simplicity. Nightcrawlers have insecurity, Humans have dignity. Bedbugs have stability, Humans have community. Donkeys have self-love, Humans have self-annihilation. Horses have competition, Humans have revolution. Fancy castles of glass belong in fairy-story. No time to rest, we have too much duty.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 20 Who’s the saint, who’s the tyrant, Is not determined by the show of strength. Real mark of human character, Lies in your gentleness radiant. The strongest souls on earth, Keep their strength hidden unless needed, Whereas the shallow and the entitled, Walk around trotting over the hearts of the helpless. Turning the other cheek to the oppressor, May work in a world of fairies. In our primitive world of organic apes, Turning the other cheek means aiding inhumanities. Love is the only answer, there is no question, But it is a lover's duty to stand up to oppression.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 25 Wanna know about people's character? Walk around in shabby clothes. Wanna know who's wise, who's egotistical? Be the dumbest despite your brainforce. Never try to impress people. The more you try, the more they lose interest. Nourish your warmth and kindness instead, Those who care will reach out themselves. But always remember one little thing, You can either have life or calculation. Calculate where it's needed, But not in every situation. Lovers and soldiers are the only ones living, Rest of society is just dehydrating.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 54 It is human nature to shed tears in agony, But taking pain to wipe another's tear is humanity. It's human nature to be sad at the loss of something, But giving up all to lift another is humanity. It is human nature to reply harm with more harm, But to stand unbending without violence is humanity. It is human nature to reply argument with argument, But knowing when to lose an argument is humanity. It is human nature to win by dragging others down, But defying competition to live a purpose is humanity. It is human nature to blame disparity on politicians, But to step up ensuring equity in one's area is humanity. Just because it’s human nature, doesn't make it civilized. We shall be civilized when we are no longer hypnotized.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 46 Love is in everybody, Not everybody is in love. Power is in everybody, Not everybody can power-up. Everybody loves beautiful clothes, Few care for heart's beauty. Everybody is obsessed with liberty, Few can bear the responsibility. Everybody lives amidst the collective, Only few practice collectivism. Everybody talks about the world, Not everybody has the world in them. Poor is not the one whose pocket is empty, But the one whose heart lacks comity.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 53 If you call me liberal, You have understood nothing. If you call me conservative, You have understood nothing. If you call me religious, You have understood nothing. If you call me atheist, You have understood nothing. If you call me communist, You have understood nothing. If you call me capitalist, You have understood nothing. You’ll never find me in your fancy ideology, You'll know me by taking pain to wipe another's agony.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 32 Some people still say, Women belong in the kitchen. By that same logic, Men belong in the jungle. Traditions of yesterday Cannot be the standard for today, Ethics and logic of primitives, Cannot be the measure of civilized way. Each generation must find themselves, They must rewrite their own code. Better to die in the course of ascension, Than to survive in hypnotized mode. Cut off all allegiance to the dead and dark, As new humans build your own moral arc.”

“Sonnet of Charity Charity doesn't end disparity, It only postpones it. Giving doesn't mean only giving, It means lifting the fallen spirit. With one hand help those in need, With another treat their environment. Don't just give money to the destitute, Lift them up so they could help themselves. The greatest charity in the world, Is to help someone become self-reliant, So that they do not need charity, From anyone ever again. Purpose of charity is not to build a world of charity, Purpose of charity is to end the need for charity.”

“Sonnet of Blood and Water Blood may be thicker than water, But water is far greater than blood. Blood may discriminate between people, Water saves all without a single word. Even while helping the wounded, Blood discriminates both in mind and medicine. But to put out the fire of someone's thirst, Water doesn't care about a single thing. Now tell me which one deserves all the glory, Tell me which one is greater, Is it blood that's prejudiced all the time, Or is it the life-giving water? All care for blood and family first, Few can make a family out of the world.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 63 What are we without principles, Nothing but a bag of animal flesh. What are we without reason, Nothing but tradition's infectious abscess. What are we without warmth, Nothing but insects chasing self-centricity. What are we without collectivity, Nothing but mechanics of monstrosity. What are we without humility, Nothing but a bunch of smart nimrods. What are we without moderation, Nothing but poisonous arthropods. Higher the sentience, greater the responsibility, A mind oblivious to this, is oblivious to humanity.”

“Sonnet of Nature What do the rivers do? Give water for our thirst. What do the trees do? Give air for our lungs. What do the animals do? Give food for our tummy. What do the flowers do? Give fragrance for our body. After taking everything, From every member of nature, What do we pompous idiots do? Destroy all natural order. It's high time to get our act together. Nature doesn't need us, but we need her.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 97 Age doesn’t make you wise, curiosity does. Intellect doesn't make you curious, growth does. Experience doesn't make you grow, expansion does. Travel doesn't make you expand, self-correction does. Cynicism doesn't help correction, awareness does. Books don't make you aware, accountability does. Law cannot make you accountable, humanity does. Appearance doesn't make you human, acceptance does. Wokeness doesn't make you accepting, character does. Clothes don't make character, conduct does. Etiquettes don't define conduct, goodness does. Tradition doesn't make you good, oneness does. Oneness is the mother of all civilized behavior. Without oneness we're ever headed for disaster.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 24 Who is to build the world? Who is to raise the society? Who is to water the plants? Who is to stand up for sanity? Who is to bear agony for community? Who is to go hungry feeding another? Who is to heal the sick while bleeding? Who is to lift the lowly trotting fire? Who is to burn alive to bring light? Who is to walk on thorns to build the bridge? Who is to be deceived yet stay humble? Who is to lay down so others can climb the ridge? It is you, o misfit, o explorer of impossibility, Even if no one joins us, our world is our responsibility!”

“Sonnet of Renewable Energy There is a plug point in the sky, Which is beaming electricity 24/7. Yet we drill holes into the earth, To suck oil and power our concrete heaven. When humankind first started drilling, They had no idea of its implication. But eventually scientists raised warnings, Yet drilling continued due to lack of efficient solution. Fossil fuel has already damaged the climate, And we no longer have time for scholarly fight. So I say to scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, Come up with affordable home solar-grid. Electric cars won't do anything for climate emergency, Unless all electricity comes from renewable energy.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 65 Doomsday is not when the earth collapses, Nor is it the contagion of a deadly virus. Doomsday is when humans forget humanity, As such all of us are doomsday descendants. There is no such thing as fall of humanity, For humankind never rose to civilization. Our ancestors were savages with bow and arrow, We are modern savages with nuclear ammunition. Each of us are raised as an incarnate of doom, Through our veins flow the germs of selfishness. Everybody talks of peace without realizing, The opposite of war is not peace, it's unselfishness. So stop worrying about the fall of civilization. Live as human so that there actually is a civilization.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 75 Nonduality comes from wholeness, Wholeness rises when sectarianism is slashed. Sectarianism fails when we fall in love, Not with one person but the whole world. When the stranger becomes family, Politicians will lose their job. When love overwhelms all rigidity, Arms dealers will mourn and sob. When diplomacy keeps the world divided, Reliance on institutions goes through the roof. The best way to sustain profits of war, Is to keep people infected with the nationalist flu. Enough with this barbarianism of sovereignty! Step up and shout, the whole world is my family!”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 76 In the old days tribal chiefs used to fool people, With talks of tribal honor and heritage. Today's chiefs in suits manipulate modern tribals, With talks of national security and lineage. When our ancestors behaved as tribals, It is acceptable for they didn't know better. But when we identify as civilized yet act tribal, It is but a degrading stain upon our honor. Though all politicians are not savages, Paradigm of modern politics thrives on division. So make not the dreadful mistake to think, That politicians are gonna bring peace and elevation. It is a world of citizens, citizens are its lifeblood. You and I are its caretakers, not some elected vanguard.”

“Dollar of Disparity (The Sonnet) Millions of people go without food, For some privileged nimrods to afford their luxuries. Millions of people have no access to essentials, So that celebrities can buy their lamborghinis. The difference between phony activists and a reformer, Is not in what they say but in their lifestyle and action. In a world that still suffers from the lack of essentials, Indulgence in luxury is human rights violation. What people do with their money is not a private affair, Each penny above necessity belongs to social welfare. One who talks of equality while riding in a Rolls Royce, Is the last person to be concerned of people's despair. None has a right to luxury till all can access necessities. Every dollar spent on luxury is a dollar of disparity.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 64 Let us be oblivious to security and comfort, In our pursuit and practice of humanity. Let us be oblivious to personal happiness, In our endeavors into the impossibility. Let us throw all fear and anxiety overboard, For the dreams that’ll determine our destiny. Let us trample every foul desire for luxury, And treat the hard problem of inhumanity. Let us pay no heed to gain and pain, In our course of constructing a whole society. Let us not sit around praying for a messiah, And stand up ourselves to carry out that duty. Let others be oblivious to humanity if they want. Even if it's doomsday, sapling of service we'll plant.”

“Sonnet of Heaven and Hell There's a tale we hear of a heavenly kingdom, Which is passed on through generations. Because once you place salvation outside life, Accountability vanishes from all prioritization. Self-determination makes one unfit for slavery, Reason makes one unfit for manipulation. If you take charge of your life and community, Institutions fail to dictate your ambition. Heaven and hell exist here and now, They are manifestations of human behavior. Acts of oneness bring heaven in a moment, Deeds of division breed hell from thin air. The paradigm we have was made yesterday. It is our world, let's build it our way.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 52 Humanhood isn't him, her or them, Humanhood requires realization beyond sex. Pronouns may be a step in the right direction, But they are not passport for arrogance and disrespect. The purpose is to erase hate from society, And we ain't gonna do that by passing judgment. If we want there to be equity and acceptance, We must learn to trample first our own arrogance. Rebelling for the sake of rebelling achieves nothing, Arrogance only produces just another bitter creature. In trying to fight against prejudice and oppression, Be cautious that you don't end up as the new oppressor. Revolution is the foundation of civilization's evolution, But it must be rooted in gentleness, not cancellation.”
