“Leap Beyond Libido (The Sonnet)
Brotherhood won't do,
Nor will sisterhood.
What the world really needs,
Is a sense of humanhood.
So long as gender lingers,
In the behavior of human.
We'll not have a society,
Free from sexualization.
Genitalia have no role in society,
Other than in bed.
When you leap beyond libido,
Even a naked body seems sacred.
The body has evolved to crave for release,
But a well-built character is hard to please.”

Not just humanism, but humanity itself, man's dignity and self-respect--they were inseparable from the Word, from literature.”
