Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo Quotes

“There are three kinds of people in the world - Those who make the world, those who mock the makers, and those who sleep through all the making and mocking. Or better yet, there are humans then there are animals - Humans who make the world, humans who help the makers, and animals are those who keep mocking and sleeping.”

“Sonnet 1143 Give me some sunshine, Give me some rain! Why the hell am I asking you, When I'm the steward of my own reign! Ship of society is sinking, O Young and Bold, now hail the helm! Come to the rescue of those lost at sea, To hell with the nonsense of shame and fame! My religion is to rescue the fallen, My creed to care for the persecuted. Faith, reason, nation, I heed none, Obliterated in love heart is illuminated. Shedding all fears both ragged and posh, Let's go play in the courtyard of the cosmos!”

“Cardiomyopathy Sonnet (Medicine and Metaphor) Person's worth comes from their pulse, not from their purse. It's okay if your purse is anemic, so long as your veins got plenty pulse. It's your pulse that brings the world to life, Pulsating heart is radiator during this ice-age. Ice-age never went away, it just got internalized, As outwardly in appearance we became less savage. Human heart is in dire need of a green house, All the warmth is escaping rapidly. Melting ice caps will drown us later, We'll have kicked the bucket long before, from frostbitten cardiomyopathy. Brain's death is death of the body, Heart's death is death of the being. Kindness keeps the being alive long after the heart stops beating.”
