“I am not east, I am not west, I am the whole world. I have absorbed the good from every single culture of planet earth, and now the entire world courses through my veins as lifeblood. That is why, I am a human being - that is why, I am a whole human being.”

“Aum Amen Assalaam (The Interfaith Sonnet)
Jo bole so nihal - honest, brave 'n nondual!
Ain't no human run by divisionism.
You may say Merhaba, or Hallelujah,
Smiling I respond, Walaikum Assalam.
Every human greeting is an act of peace,
Language differs, not the emotion.
Yet we keep bickering over language,
Overlooking all loving unison.
Chag sameach say some of us,
Some say happy holidays!
Across the words, into the heart,
We'll find the flame of happiness.
Underneath every version of felicidad,
there is a sense of illumination.
Aim of all Aum and Amen - is unification.”

Society begins where hate ends,
Peace begins where prejudice ends.”

“Integration is Illumination (The Sonnet)
Asato ma sad gamaya*,
Benevolence is bismillah.
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya**,
Mind is the mightiest menorah.
Luz, lux, noor - light by any name,
Brings the same illumination.
And what is this mythical light,
If not an act of collective ascension!
Light is not the absence of darkness,
Light is the absence of indifference.
Darkness is symptom, coldness is the sickness,
Once we treat coldness, we'll treat all darkness.
I repeat, light by any name brings the same illumination.
If not now, when will we put an end to this dehumanization!
(*Let's rise from ignorance to truth. **Let's rise from darkness to light.)”

“Real Human (The Sonnet)
You are either pro-guns,
or pro-human, you cannot be both.
You are either against abortion,
or pro-life, you cannot be both.
You are either intolerant,
or religious, you cannot be both.
You are either anti-semite,
or sapiens, you cannot be both.
You are either homophobic,
or human, you cannot be both.
You are either islamophobic,
or civilized, you cannot be both.
Tolerating intolerance is sign of an animal.
Integration is what makes humanity human.”
