Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission Quotes

“What Hope Means (The Sonnet) What do you think hope means, To sit and do nothing! Such is no hope but cowardice, Real hope gets you walking. Hope means to take charge, Hope means unsubmission. Hope means to not lose sight, Hope means to cause illumination. Life is what happens to the human, Human is what happens to life. Nature is what happens to the animal, Human is the animal rising civilized. I repeat, hope is no excuse for inaction. Real hope brings emancipation from submission.”

“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 3 What is the role of an electrical fuse? Amateurs will say, conducting electricity. But the actual task of a fuse is, To blow itself when the load is too heavy. Thus the fuse protects the appliance, Against any electrical irregularity. Likewise, we gotta blow our fuse, Whenever inhumanity hangs heavy. If we stay silent in indifference, What's the point of all this electricity! Nerves that carry not vigor but ice water, Ain't no human nerves but sewers of society. Human nerves are the life-circuit of society. If they carry ice water, it is a catastrophe.”
