“Self and Society (The Sonnet) I and you are not two but one, The space in-between is an illusion. The air you breathe is also in me, Then why hang on to separation! Where there is dark ignorance, There festers delusion most foul. Once you give in to such atrocity, Society breaks out in painful howl. Self and society are one whole being, That's how we make a humane world. But if this is none of your concern, You are but a bug with conscience curled. Fabric of society is everyone's business. It's time we breathe life into humaneness.”
