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 15 I am the craftsman, I am the craft. I am the artist, I am the art. I am the infinity, I am absolution. I am impossibility, I am the solution. I am the just, As well as justice. I am equality, As well as its means. There's always a way, so long as I exist, And I exist wherever there's a Universalist.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 47 Walk up to death, And smile at your doom. At the sight of your conviction, Stars will begin to bloom. Tread bravely on misery, Defy anything that causes weakness. At the sound of your courageous footsteps, The soil will regain its fragrance. Embolden your chest o mighty victor, Against a hailstorm of ridicule. Even the slight sound of your whisper, Will give chills to the cruel. Care for society, not its opinion of you. Sacrifice all image and status, and stand up anew.”
