Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society Quotes

“Sonnet of Nazi America America is the land of liberty, Offer available only to white people. When it comes to people of color, It's a Nazi nation though unofficial. If you are white and you make a mistake, You are most likely to receive a warning. But if you are a person of color or muslim, Better have a good reason for breathing. They say we live in a democratic land, A system of, by and for the people. But what they forget to teach in school, People doesn’t really mean every individual. No one can change the past that's for sure. Defying all supremacy we must rise and roar.”

“Sonnet of Occupation With just weeks of lockdown, You all feel restless and bland. That is how everyday life is, For people in occupied land. Imagine living your whole life, Subject to restriction and suspicion. Ask a Palestinian or a Kashmiri, They'll reveal the face of occupation. Life, liberty and happiness, Are the rights of every being. Whenever a government violates them, Civilized humanity must intervene. I call to all humans far and near, Rest not till statehood is declared.”

“When you come down to the ground of humanity from your pedestal of intellect, then you realize that though white Americans received independence from British occupation on July 4th, 1776, it meant nothing as to the fate of the Black Americans, for they still continued to suffer as slaves officially until the declaration of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1st 1863, and somewhat unofficially till Juneteenth, that is, June 19th, 1866. I say somewhat unofficially because, it ought to be clear to anybody with half a brain by now that, slavery didn’t actually end either with Emancipation Proclamation or on Juneteenth, it morphed into racism.”

“Sonnet of National Beauty Beauty and ugliness as we know them, Are the product of an ugly mind. Once we step across all pretenses, We learn how much we’ve been blind. The whitest places on planet earth, Happen to be the ugliest of all places. For what appears to be a fancy joint, Is filled with a bunch of suited savages. Nations of color have problems too, But they don't pretend to be advanced. When we claim to be a global leader, We must first practice inclusion on demand. Great is not the nation that appears fancy, But one which values people over diplomacy.”

“White supremacy is not a human right, it's a human rights violation, and by allowing a school to keep black history out of their curriculum, a government only perpetuates white supremacy, hence it perpetuates a human rights violation.”

“In fact, just for the sake of understanding, if we measure the amount of blood and sweat that actually went into the making of America, we’d find that the contributions of the blacks far outweigh the contributions of the whites!”

“Sonnet of Phony Activism Those who give their life to society, Never call themselves activist. Those who work night and day for others, Rarely identify as reformist. It’s only the vane, lame and the shallow, Who draw attention with phony activism. Those who actually care for society, Live a life of sacrifice beyond definition. Activist and woke are actually code, That says, look at me I am so great. Real greats don't care about labels, They're martyred for others without regret. The world doesn't need more phony label. What's needed is humans being accountable.”
