“From Ape to Human (The Sonnet) To label a spirit is to cripple a spirit, What we call cultural imprints are prison. Society of such culture is no human society, but merely an overglorified animal kingdom. Sure, the culture we're born in are part of us, But it must never take over human identity. That's how heritage facilitates bias-n-hate, And culture becomes excuse for inhumanity. Call it advaita, nirvana or humanity, the purpose is to surpass all divide. Anything that distances mind from mind, must never be defended as cultural pride. Mission is, not to remove cultural imprints, But to be civilized enough to surpass them. Only then can we be the bridge of benevolence, Only then the glorified ape shall emerge as human.”
