Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper Quotes

“Prototype Human (Sonnet 2249) The pen is my paradise, the pen is my grave. Everybody has all the answers, I seem to have only questions. Good thing, I don't know how to write, methods are obstacle to my madness. I'm vast enough to contain the world, asylum pills don't work on pilgrim brains. My pen never runs out of ink, because the pen is an extension of my anatomy. Madness is the first sign of sanity, oneness is the seed of infinity. Stereotypes are sanity of the jungle, prejudice is sacred in the animal kingdom. Flags are the poison, cosmos is (my) kin - I am no stereotype, I am the Prototype Human.”

“The way apes understand what's cultured, I'm not that sort of cultured - I'm humanly cultured - which means, I live as cure for tribalism, not coddle; I abolish chains, not worship them, I do not entertain stereotypes - I question and denounce prejudice, both external and internal.”

“The Sonnet is Civilization (Sonnet 2235) I hear, 'just because you're a citizen, doesn't mean you're an american'. I say, just because you're american, doesn't mean you're a civilized human. I hear, 'just because you're a citizen, doesn't mean you're english or australian'. I say, just because you're english or aussie, doesn't mean you're a civilized human. I hear, 'hindi bolnese koi hindustani nahi banjaata', I say, hindustani bannese koi insan nahi banjaata. Ved, Koran ya Bible ratta maarnese koi pak ya pavitra nahi banjaata, there's no greater granth than chetna. Tyranny never comes dressed as tyranny, tyranny always comes dressed as tradition. İyilik evren benim, tüm kâinat benim mahalle, dogma de la etnicidad arruina la civilización.”

“The Man With No Roots (Sonnet) The day children are raised without religion and nationality, that's the beginning of peacemaking, and the empirical end to warmongery. Either raise your children with no religion or multiple religions, either raise your children with no culture or multiple cultures. I grew up celebrating Diwali, eating fruitcake on the 25th, and waking up to the call of Azaan - if I'm devout anything, it's a devout human. I have no roots, for I am the roots; I am the ruin of all heritage of lies. Illegal Immigrant in every state, for I come from a Time beyond tribes.”

“The Drunken Polyglot (Sonnet 2300) I never hankered for booze or drugs, you know why - because I'm already drunk, with the most hard-hitting, brain-altering contraband in history - I'm ever consumed with languages and cultures. Latin Passion, Turkish Woundlight, Nordic Thunder, Celtic Wonder, Afro Grit, American Ambition, Arabian Adamance, Chinese Ingenuity, Indian Nonduality - like rivers running eager to meet in sea, cultures converged to bring me to life. I am vast beyond the spell of tribe, I am the ruin of all resurging reich. Call it Reich, Empire or Uncle Sam - Zionist State or Hindu Rashtra - Animal Kingdoms are found everywhere, still, reason is to reichs what phenyl is to floor.”

“Fugitive Peace (Sonnet 2219) In the opera of war, peace is fugitive - thinking soldiers are no good to state, either you kill without question, and grab your medal, or get discharged dishonorably. Thinking citizens are no good to democracy, either you obey blind or be branded a terrorist. Either you hold your mouth, mind and backbone, or be jailed as an anarchist. If you want to be an actor, don't go to film school, become an intern to some politician. Some say secularism is in their blood, some say liberty, all the while being the posterboys of persecution. No politician will prioritize peace, if they did, they would be out of business. War is the currency of political power - abandon fanaticism, and politicians go extinct.”

“Neighbor Before Nation (Sonnet 2201) Death of soldiers is PR goldmine for nationalist nutters, no matter the side, because it gives them the appetizing ammunition to sell some more fear, some more prejudice, some more fanatic tribalism, neighbor fighting neighbor, all wrapped in cute pills of patriotism - which ultimately manufactures some more orphans, some more widows, some more elderly who lose their hope. Trenches don't have a right side and wrong side, they only have one side, the side of dogma and lies. Asses to asses, cheek to cheek, apes laud the apes, declaring true apehood through their half-open flies.”

“Democracy on Drugs, Sonnet (Operation Opium) Revolution a day keeps corruption away, freethinking days prevent genocidal nights. Citizens without brain leads to democracy on drugs, paranoia is lifeblood for power-hungry parasites. Parasites thrive on gaslighting neighbors, peaceful coexistence is a threat to political power. Politicians remain safe through war and drought, it's the people who pay with blood, money and tears. Parasites don't have nationality, parasites don't have religion, parasites only have a bottomless hunger to keep the throne by calculated cleansing. Nationalism has nothing to do with culture, fundamentalism has nothing to do with religion. Win a war, lose a war, politicians lose nothing, living off domesticated sheep comatosed by opium.”

“The Uncultured Linguist (Sonnet) The way apes understand what's cultured, I'm not that sort of cultured - I'm humanly cultured - which means, I live as cure for tribalism, not coddle; I abolish chains, not worship them, I do not entertain stereotypes - I question and denounce prejudice, both external and internal. MAGA, Zionism, Hindutva, Prima gli Italiani, Khalistan, Islamism, Türkiye Yüzyılı, these are proof, we come from the monkeys; while humans take a snooze, monkeys roam free. Dogma is barrier to understanding, blind faith is obstacle to holiness. Assumption is obstacle to communication, stereotypes are obstacle to awareness.”

“Never Serve Your Nation (Sonnet) Educate your children never to serve your nation; to serve the nation makes monkey out of human, killing on the basis of nationality and religion. If you wanna serve your nation, serve through science, serve through art, serve through music, literature, industry, but never through military. However, if you wanna make crime your career, with all the glorious decorations - kill one person, it's murder - kill in bulk, it's patriotism. Soldiers are just glorified webcam models, standing erect to serve political libido. Be the human your flesh appears to be, or go back to the jungle, your mind is suited so. Science, arts, music, innovation, that's how you serve a nation. There is no greater dipsomaniac profession, than militarist infestation.”

“Politicians are professional gaslighters, they gaslight people against people, neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, humanity against humanity - that's how they stay in business. And the fact that we've evolved from the apes, doesn't help much - our jungle instincts of tribalism don't need much coaxing to be blown into fully fledged war, between cultures, between religions, between nations.”

“My Nation, Your Nation (Sonnet) My nation, your nation, my religion, your religion, my culture, your culture, will be the end of us apes - outwardly fancy, inwardly filthy, sneering, leering, gutter-crawling, conniving, two-faced, fanatic, frivolous, pointless bloody apes - apes who can't see right from wrong, without the blinkers of creed - apes who can't tell order from disorder, unless instructed by legal decree - apes who would sell their own brother, if monkey kings command, it's patriotic.”
