“Sonnet of Human Duty
To deliver humanity from inhumanity,
Is the duty of every human.
To deliver the innocent from injustice,
Is the duty of every human.
The indifferent may call it god complex,
Apathetic pessimists may call it idealism.
I call it the meaning of life and sanity,
The opposite is just a sign of doofusism.
Differences won't destroy the world,
Indifference is far more ominous.
The problem is not the evil doers,
But the silent spectators.
Mark me well, the day I stay silent is the day,
Lady liberty throws her torch away.”

“When inhumanity is committed on others, we turn our back, when it's committed on us, we compromise. That's how the world works, nay, that's how we work - we the so-called civilized beings. What civilized! What sentient! What sapient! We haven't even developed the spine to stand up to oppression and dehumanization! Then how on earth could we call ourselves civilized, sentient, and sapient!”

“The World Sonnet
The world will never be a place without troubles,
But that is not the point, the point is something else.
The point is that most of the troubles we do have,
Are caused by our own archaic stupidity 'n shallowness.
Shallow and indifferent, that's the norm of the world.
With such norm how can we expect there to be equality!
Civilization comes from the ground, not the government.
The ones walking the ground are the cause of humanity.
Rhythm of the world comes from the rhythm of your heart,
Place your hand on your heart and listen across biases.
If there is music in you there'll be music in the world,
But if there's just noise within, all around there’ll be travesty.
WORLD means We On Road of Love and Determination.
The aim is to conquer our last ounce of discrimination.”

“Energy and Ethics (The Sonnet)
One AA battery lights up a house with an LED,
Or it can be used to set fire to it with a spark.
Energy has no ethical polarity, only potential,
Ethics of energy lie in the hands of its wielder.
Society just needs an excuse to escape the blame,
Sometimes they blame science, other times politics.
The real problem is none but the society itself,
Particularly our age-old selfish histrionics.
No society is born human, not yet anyway,
It falls on the original humans to make it human.
Choose science, faith, politics or civil service,
Touch of a human makes medicine even out of poison.
Science doesn't define the scientist, scientist defines the science.
Hence I'm a servant scientist who uses science for deliverance.”

“Ain’t No Sinner (The Sonnet)
When we think ourselves weak,
We become weak.
When we think ourselves sinner,
We become sinner most meek.
Yes we are fundamentally cruel and divisionistic,
Yes the evil in us is stronger than our good.
That's because our ancestors survived through cruelty,
They didn't have much scope to practice their good.
But we ain’t our ancestors in our way of life,
We don’t have to watch out for predators in every bush.
Then why do we still behave like predators ourselves,
Why don’t we break this tribalistic tradition of ambush!
No more cruelty either on ourselves or on those around!
Embolden your backbone into a fountain of kinship unbound.”

“Kindness No Obligation (The Sonnet)
Those who feel kindness is an obligation,
Don't really feel but crawl as walking dead.
Those who think society ain't their responsibility,
Don’t think, they're just specimens of mental midget.
Giants are those who lay themselves down,
For the welfare of every single soul around.
Intellect is a tool for, not a subject of, greatness and glory,
The root of all greatness is a gentle heart unbound.
Kindness is more than a trait, just like accountability,
These things make a human out of an animal.
Selfishness is more than a flaw, just like egotism,
These things keep an animal from becoming human.
Little selfishness is ok so long as your humanity is in charge.
We've been animal long enough, now let's be giants on guard.”

“Look At The Stars (The Sonnet)
Look up my friend, look at the stars,
You know some of them exploded long ago.
Yet their light keeps shining even when they're gone,
For none of their rays is tainted by ego.
Not a kernel of kindness ever goes to waste,
Not a gesture of gentleness ever goes awry.
The unselfish one is the happiest person in the world,
You'll find joy when you answer someone's cry.
You're thirsty, you seek a glass of water,
That is just plain necessity.
Someone else is thirsty, you share your last glass,
That my friend, is plain humanity.
When self-preservation turns trivial, ‘n humanity common sense,
That's when a star is born, amidst all self-serving nuisance.”

“No Time, No Space (The Sonnet)
There is no time, no space,
There is only love.
There is no intellect, no philosophy,
There is only love.
There is no defeat, no victory,
There is only love.
There is no loss, no gain,
There is only love.
There is no path, no pedestrian,
There is only love.
There is no mission, no means,
There is only love.
All of us are either echoes of love beyond chains,
Or just some traditional trash of glory and gain.”

“Why should women have to give up their name upon marriage, as if they are nothing but hood ornaments to their husbands! And why should a child be identified only by their father’s name and not the mother’s, who by the way, is the root of all creation - who is creation! We are never going to have a civilized society with equity as foundation, unless we acknowledge and abolish such filthy habits that we’ve been practicing as tradition.
Showing off our skin-deep support for equality few days a year doesn’t eliminate all the discriminations from the world, we have to live each day as the walking proof of equality, ascension and assimilation.”

“Coding Sonnet
One of the most powerful tools of science is coding,
A string of illegible characters can make or break a society.
145,000 lines of code landed Armstrong 'n Aldrin on the moon,
And 2 billion of them are working to satisfy everyday curiosity.
But this awesome force is still used mostly to generate revenue,
Welfare of humanity isn't a priority here, but a mere suggestion.
That's why the coding marvel that set out to connect the world,
Has become a playground for conspiracy, bigotry and division.
Learn from the horrific blunders of society's founding coders,
Make humanity the primary command of every code you write.
A code that doesn't lift the society is nothing but a hideous bug,
Zeros and Ones know no good or bad, unless by you it is defined.
Uncle Ben once said, with great power comes great responsibility.
I say to you today, a humane code facilitates a humane society.”

“There is no explosion in human population, there's only explosion in selfishness, recklessness and indifference.

“I Am Ukraine (The Sonnet)
Peace doesn't come through prayers,
Peace comes through responsible action.
When the invader stomps on innocent lives,
Not choosing a side is a consent to oppression.
Ask us for water, we won't let you go unfed,
But do not mistake our gentleness as fear.
If you so much as lay a finger on our home,
We'll defend it with our blood, sweat 'n tears.
We ain't no coward to selfishly seek security,
When our land is being ransacked by raccoons.
When the lives of our loved ones are at stake,
We'll break but never bend to oligarchical buffoons.
The love of our families is what keeps us breathing.
To preserve their smiles, we shall happily die fighting.”

“People Over Path (The Sonnet)
Celebrities defend vanity,
Intellectuals defend intellect,
Preachers defend scriptures,
Scientists defend factual evidence.
I found plenty of human professions,
But in none of them I found a human.
All are obsessed to defend their path,
Yet all paths are dead without a human.
No matter who we are or what we are,
Above all else our identity is humanness.
If this simple fact is still not clear enough,
All vanity, intellect, texts and science are baseless.
Before defending a puny path, let us take a human peek.
If we must defend, let us defend the helpless and weak.”

“Terrorists don't walk around carrying guns and grenades any more, except for the confederate nitwits and religious blockheads that is. Today's terrorists walk amongst us, perfectly indistinguishable, with a fancy outside and a filthy inside. And here's my word to these violators of human rights.
I'm a billionaire, I'm a politician, I'm a bureaucrat, I'm a diplomat - if you so much as dream of exploiting people thinking such filth, mark the words of this gentalist eternal - it'll take me two shakes of a lamb's tail to wipe you out from the fabric of time. But I won't. No matter what, I'll defend the people, and still spare your life. You know why? Because, a terrorist is defined by how they treat the innocent, a reformist is defined by how they treat the terrorist. So mend your ways my child, because if you are terror, I am your grandfather.”
