“Sonnet of Nature What do the rivers do? Give water for our thirst. What do the trees do? Give air for our lungs. What do the animals do? Give food for our tummy. What do the flowers do? Give fragrance for our body. After taking everything, From every member of nature, What do we pompous idiots do? Destroy all natural order. It's high time to get our act together. Nature doesn't need us, but we need her.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 97 Age doesn’t make you wise, curiosity does. Intellect doesn't make you curious, growth does. Experience doesn't make you grow, expansion does. Travel doesn't make you expand, self-correction does. Cynicism doesn't help correction, awareness does. Books don't make you aware, accountability does. Law cannot make you accountable, humanity does. Appearance doesn't make you human, acceptance does. Wokeness doesn't make you accepting, character does. Clothes don't make character, conduct does. Etiquettes don't define conduct, goodness does. Tradition doesn't make you good, oneness does. Oneness is the mother of all civilized behavior. Without oneness we're ever headed for disaster.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 24 Who is to build the world? Who is to raise the society? Who is to water the plants? Who is to stand up for sanity? Who is to bear agony for community? Who is to go hungry feeding another? Who is to heal the sick while bleeding? Who is to lift the lowly trotting fire? Who is to burn alive to bring light? Who is to walk on thorns to build the bridge? Who is to be deceived yet stay humble? Who is to lay down so others can climb the ridge? It is you, o misfit, o explorer of impossibility, Even if no one joins us, our world is our responsibility!”

“Sonnet of Renewable Energy There is a plug point in the sky, Which is beaming electricity 24/7. Yet we drill holes into the earth, To suck oil and power our concrete heaven. When humankind first started drilling, They had no idea of its implication. But eventually scientists raised warnings, Yet drilling continued due to lack of efficient solution. Fossil fuel has already damaged the climate, And we no longer have time for scholarly fight. So I say to scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, Come up with affordable home solar-grid. Electric cars won't do anything for climate emergency, Unless all electricity comes from renewable energy.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 65 Doomsday is not when the earth collapses, Nor is it the contagion of a deadly virus. Doomsday is when humans forget humanity, As such all of us are doomsday descendants. There is no such thing as fall of humanity, For humankind never rose to civilization. Our ancestors were savages with bow and arrow, We are modern savages with nuclear ammunition. Each of us are raised as an incarnate of doom, Through our veins flow the germs of selfishness. Everybody talks of peace without realizing, The opposite of war is not peace, it's unselfishness. So stop worrying about the fall of civilization. Live as human so that there actually is a civilization.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 75 Nonduality comes from wholeness, Wholeness rises when sectarianism is slashed. Sectarianism fails when we fall in love, Not with one person but the whole world. When the stranger becomes family, Politicians will lose their job. When love overwhelms all rigidity, Arms dealers will mourn and sob. When diplomacy keeps the world divided, Reliance on institutions goes through the roof. The best way to sustain profits of war, Is to keep people infected with the nationalist flu. Enough with this barbarianism of sovereignty! Step up and shout, the whole world is my family!”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 76 In the old days tribal chiefs used to fool people, With talks of tribal honor and heritage. Today's chiefs in suits manipulate modern tribals, With talks of national security and lineage. When our ancestors behaved as tribals, It is acceptable for they didn't know better. But when we identify as civilized yet act tribal, It is but a degrading stain upon our honor. Though all politicians are not savages, Paradigm of modern politics thrives on division. So make not the dreadful mistake to think, That politicians are gonna bring peace and elevation. It is a world of citizens, citizens are its lifeblood. You and I are its caretakers, not some elected vanguard.”

“Dollar of Disparity (The Sonnet) Millions of people go without food, For some privileged nimrods to afford their luxuries. Millions of people have no access to essentials, So that celebrities can buy their lamborghinis. The difference between phony activists and a reformer, Is not in what they say but in their lifestyle and action. In a world that still suffers from the lack of essentials, Indulgence in luxury is human rights violation. What people do with their money is not a private affair, Each penny above necessity belongs to social welfare. One who talks of equality while riding in a Rolls Royce, Is the last person to be concerned of people's despair. None has a right to luxury till all can access necessities. Every dollar spent on luxury is a dollar of disparity.”
