Giants in Jeans: 100 Sonnets of United Earth Quotes

“Against Nothing (The Sonnet) I am not against consumerism, I am not against corporations. I am not against politics and policy, I am not against politicians. I am not against fame and fortune, I am not against celebrity. I am not against entrepreneurship, I am not against technology. I am not against bureaucrats, I am not against red tape. I am not against bibles and comics, I am not against prayers and faith. I ain't against anything that serves human welfare. The moment they go astray, I'll be their nightmare.”

“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 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.”
