“Mental Por El Mundo (The Sonnet)
Mental por el mundo,
Mental por la gente!
Sin mentalidad de servicio,
No podemos seguir adelante.
Some are mental por dinero,
Some are loco por la ropa.
Let them be as they please,
Estoy loco por la humanidad.
A promise was once made,
He asked me to unify the world.
Ever since, I have been on duty,
My life isn't mine but of the world.
If I fail, you cross off one human.
If I succeed, you witness civilization.”

Not some beliefs and biases.
People are the magic of my words,
People are the center of my poetries.”

“Be the proof of integration,
When prejudice is the tradition.
Devise your own inclusive destiny,
When heritage is rooted in division.”

“When culture is code for division,
You gotta be uncultured to find assimilation.
When hagiographies are passed on as heritage,
To be heretic is the first course of action.”

“Neighborhood Humanitarian (The Sonnet)
They ask me, why do I never run out of ideas!
It is because I never dwell in one culture.
Sometimes I'm North American, sometimes Latino,
Sometimes I'm South Indian, sometimes I am Turk.
When I run low on charge, I listen to Español,
When my sight gets foggy, I watch Cary Grant.
Whenever I feel homesick, I listen to some Telugu,
Whenever my heart bleeds, I run straight to Turkey.
It is sort of a perpetual motion engine,
I empower the cultures, the cultures empower me.
If I am the world's not-so-secret hometown human,
The world is my secret to my infinite electricity.
How, do you think, I became the neighborhood
humanitarian to every single person on earth!
It's because I never glorified one culture over another.”
