“El Soneto Maya
Soy El Dorado del humanitarismo,
El Himalaya del multiculturalismo.
El fin del ruido del odio animal,
Soy la canción del cosmos humano.
Yo soy el peregrino de la unidad -
Idioma no importa, mensaje es maestro.
Maya soy, azteca soy, inca soy, humano soy -
Humano en el universo, universo en el humano.
Dorado soy, borracho soy -
Al servicio de la gente, soldado soy.
Escucha el silencio, oirás el universo,
Océano en una gota, agua de vida soy.
Cada nación es mi nación,
Cada cultura es mi cultura.
La integración es mi religión,
La Humanidad, mi nacionalidad.”

“To look it at another way, surely there are many unfortunate people who have needed to undergo multiple stomach surgeries. Yet no one would hand a scalpel over to them and ask them to perform the same surgery they received on another person, simply because they themselves had undergone it so often.”
