“Real Third World (The Sonnet) Third world countries are not, Those from Asia and Africa. Some of the real third world countries, Are our United States and Russia. It is behavior that makes the person, It is behavior that makes the nation. Worth of a nation lies not in currency, But in their sense of assimilation. A civilized nation doesn't say, We are the greatest nation on earth. Only the underdeveloped yells around, We are the nation supreme, all others are dirt. A first world country is born of first world citizens. A citizen becomes first world by defying all divisions.”

“Esperanza Impossible Sonnet 10 Nationality is not the trouble, real trouble is nationalism, And nationalism is the super weapon in a politician's arsenal. When nothing works, peddling nationalism works every time, For insecure citizenry can't tell nationality from nationalism. So in practice, all the wars of the world are caused by citizens, But it feels good to blame the bad things on politicians. Once the citizens grow up to not be swayed by nationalism, No authoritarian nincompoop can make them dance. Nationality is a tool, what it is not is a badge of supremacy, Just like culture is a tool, and not a badge of authority. If we must dance, let us dance to life, not to baseless fright, If we must take a step, let's take a step towards humanity. Borders exist to aid the functioning of the fabric of society. They are not some olympian designation of your identity.”
