“When someone commits an injustice in front of you,
Ask them 3 times nicely to make amends.
If they still carry on like prehistoric pricks,
It's time for you to take charge as their parents.”

“Ain't Your Nigger
(Sonnet to The Whites)
Yes I am colored,
But I ain't your nigger.
I am your way to oneness,
I am the humanitarian trigger.
I am the trigger for revolution,
Whenever there is oppression.
I am the trigger for reason,
Whenever there is dogmatization.
I am the trigger for ascension,
Whenever there is assumption.
I am the trigger for assimilation,
Whenever there is discrimination.
On our shackled shoulders America was built.
Yet how come we are still hated to the hilt!”

“Tapwater and Natural Spring (The Sonnet)
I am sorry if big bard becomes bleak,
In front of the vast spirit of oneness.
I am sorry if baron byron turns barren,
In front of the sense of collectiveness.
With their native tongue given at birth,
The fancy figures did what they could.
It ain't their fault that it takes an outsider,
To bring out a tongue's rightful good.
Some figures are tapwater,
While others are natural spring.
Some are just good writers,
While others are Maya, Martí and King.
Anybody can write mushy words, that's no biggie.
Genius is one who lives as they speak, with integrity.”

“World Administrative Service (The Sonnet)
Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers,
Don't stop till you reach your goal!
Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers,
Don't stop till your dreams are whole!
Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers,
Don't stop till there is no injustice.
Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers,
Don't stop till the world is in peace.
Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers,
Do not stop till love is the only way.
Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers,
Don't stop till all prejudice is thrown away.
Civilization is born when all our sentience converge.
Puny minds make puny-verse, uni-minds make universe.”

“I have no control over my words, including the titles. Every time a title appears in my mind it sends a chill down my spine. The entire body shakes up in momentary tremor followed by the rush of an immense tranquility. And that's it! Right or not, that is the title.
The same happens whenever I come up with a radical statement. Just like Ramanujan used to have visions of numbers, I have visions of words, that too, in the most socially relevant manner possible.”
